The inauguration of the new hydrogen plant installed at the FM Logistics plant in Illescas, which will produce up to 45Kg of green hydrogen per week, was attended by Patricia Franco, Minister of Economy of Castilla La Mancha, and José Manuel Tofio, Mayor of Illescas, at the FM Logistic facilities at the Central Iberum Platform.
Each of the three hydrogen storage tanks of the hydrogen plant can hold up to 11 kg of hydrogen. It has a nominal capacity of 2,430 kg of hydrogen with a purity of about 100 percent.
A hydrogen project that began three years ago with the company’s entry into Illescas is now ready to open. It is a demonstration installation for its own use on this international logistics platform located in the eco-polygon of the Iberum Central Platform in Illescas, rather than a big installation.
FM Logistic has installed this hydro generator at its Illescas factory to refuel both pallet trucks that have been converted for usage with hydrogen and vans using hydrogen from water in order to combat CO2 and achieve environmental sustainability.
The charge is quite quick, and its primary benefits are environmental. The factory now avoids emitting 50 tons of CO2 each year.
FM Logstica is the first warehouse in the world to have its own hydrogen generator.
FM Logistic becomes the first logistics company in Spain to use integrated green hydrogen because, in addition to having a hydrogen generator to supply its own vehicles, it obtains the energy required for electrolysis via photovoltaic energy generated by the solar panels that cover its warehouse in Illescas.
Jose Manuel Tofio congratulated FM Logistic for its daring in being the first to adopt this hydrogen project in logistics, a model of sustainability in the industry, in his remarks.
Wishing that the remainder of the logistics platforms at the Iberum Central Platform in Illescas join this hydrogen proposal. Patricia Franco, for one, expressed gratitude to FM Logistic for its dedication to innovation and sustainability.
Thanking God that Illescas is once again the center of logistical growth and employment in the region, with a long-term environmental commitment.
