LOCATED IN THE WALQATECHNOLOGY PARK, IN HUESCA

Our facilities are comprised of some 1,200 square metres between offices, laboratories and a workshop. Our unit is unique in Spain, and with 8.5 metres in height, safety measures (ATEX), gas detection equipment and ventilation, represents a suitable installation to work with large scale hydrogen equipment. The building is part of the project call: Technology Infrastructure for Hydrogen and Renewable Energies, ITHER, conceived and carried out by the Foundation.

THE ITHER PROJECT IS AN INSTALLATION CONSISTING OF:

  • A 635 kW wind farm with three different technology turbines.
  • A 100 kW grid connected photovoltaic installation with seven different technologies.
  • A big scale alkaline technology electrolyzer.
  • Energy management subsystems, electrical grid interconnection, hydrogen storage, and final use of hydrogen in fuel cells.

WE GENERATE GREEN HYDROGEN

The installations are complete since June, 2010 and include a service station for hydrogen vehicles (hydrogen station), the second station in Aragon. As part of this last phase, our facilities now encompass all the areas related to hydrogen technologies, from the production of hydrogen by means of water electrolysis, to low and high pressure storage, compression and finally, closing the cycle, hydrogen dispensation to both vehicles and fuel cell buses.

The installations are experimental test bench facilities for renewable energy and hydrogen, accessible to researchers by means of collaboration agreements. The distinguishing aspects of our facilities are that we offer unique testing and experimentation capacities in the field of hydrogen and renewable energies.

We generate green hydrogen proceeding from our renewable sources for consumption in stationary or mobile applications. During this process we evaluate the efficiency and functionality of the process.

HIGGS: UN PROYECTO PARA ABORDAR LA INYECCIÓN DE HIDRÓGENO EN LA RED DE GAS NATURAL DE TRANSPORTE

  • HIGGS busca allanar el camino hacia la descarbonización de la red de gas mediante la inyección de hidrógeno renovable.
  • HIGGS trabaja en el mapeo de barreras y aspectos de facilitación técnicos, legales y regulatorios, la prueba y validación de sistemas e innovaciones, el modelado tecno-económico y la preparación de un conjunto de conclusiones para facilitar la inyección de hidrógeno en las redes de gas a alta presión.
  • Su plataforma de ensayos permite exponer componentes de la red de gas natural a atmósferas de hidrógeno como mezcla y 100 %H2.
