The Aragon Hydrogen Complementary Plan continues to make steady progress! The third technical follow-up meeting of the H2 Renewable Energy Complementary Plan was held at the facilities of the Instituto Tecnológico de Aragón ITA. “The technical activity is at its peak, and this is demonstrated by the work of the researchers of ITA, University of Zaragoza and Aragon Hydrogen Foundation”, said María García Camprubí, Scientific Coordinator of the Aragon Hydrogen Complementary Plan. García Camprubí stressed that “major investments are already being made to launch the pilot plants at ITA and the Aragon Hydrogen Foundation”. With one year left for the completion of the project, the experimental tests and demonstrations needed to validate and verify hydrogen technologies for the decarbonisation of heavy transport and industry are expected to start soon. In addition, more basic research and development initiatives are also showing promising results. Proof of this is the publication of a scientific paper by UNIZAR and several contributions to international conferences by UNIZAR and ITA. The excellence of the work has been recognised with prizes, such as the “Best Poster” award given to ITA at the EFCF2024 congress. The future of hydrogen in Aragon looks bright!
From the Aragon Hydrogen Foundation, we are pleased to announce that we have started electrolysis tests to optimise the production of renewable hydrogen. We are using different electrolysis technologies (AEL, PEM, AEM) to compare their efficiency and performance. We have also completed the installation of new components in our hydrogen plant, making it suitable for 700 bar supply. During the summer, we will carry out the necessary tests and verifications, with the aim of having it fully operational by September 2024. We continue to move towards a more sustainable future!
