CIP and Naturgy plan 1.7 GW of renewables and green hydrogen project in Spain

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has partnered with Enagás, Naturgy, Fertiberia and Vestas to develop the first phase of Project Catalina, which aims to develop 5 GW of combined wind and solar capacity in Aragon (northern Spain) and 2 GW of electrolyser capacity to produce green hydrogen and supply 30% of Spain’s current hydrogen demand. The first phase of the project will consist of 1.7 GW of wind and solar energy projects and a 500 MW electrolyser capable of producing over 40,000 t/year of green hydrogen. It will connect Aragón and Valencia via a pipeline transporting green hydrogen to supply a green ammonia plant with a capacity of 200,000 t/year. Catalina Phase I is applying for grid connection in Andorra (Teruel), at the Mudejar auction. Construction should start at the end of 2023.
