The Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (CIUDEN F.S.P.) has issued a tender titled “Suministro integral de equipos y materiales, ingeniería, montaje y puesta en servicio de la instalación de un sistema de compresión y almacenamiento de hidrógeno para el Centro de Desarrollo de Tecnologías de Cubillos del Sil (León),” with a publication date of August 1, 2024.

Interested parties must submit their proposals by September 19, 2024. This tender is significant for the hydrogen industry as it aims to enhance hydrogen infrastructure under Spain’s energy transition goals, funded by the European Union’s Next Generation EU recovery plan.

The primary objective of this tender is to procure comprehensive equipment and materials, along with the necessary engineering, assembly, and commissioning for a hydrogen compression and storage system. This system will be installed at the Technological Development Center in Cubillos del Sil, León, an important hub for research and innovation in clean energy technologies.

Key requirements of the tender include:

1. Supply of Equipment and Materials: This encompasses all components needed for a fully functional hydrogen compression and storage system, ensuring high efficiency and safety standards.
2. Engineering Services: Detailed engineering plans must be provided to support the assembly and integration of the hydrogen system into the existing infrastructure.
3. Assembly and Installation: The selected contractor will be responsible for the full assembly, proper installation, and initial system testing.
4. Commissioning: The commissioning phase includes necessary compliance checks and performance validations, is crucial for ensuring the system operates efficiently and safely.

This project is pivotal for advancing Spain’s hydrogen storage and compression capabilities, which are essential components in the hydrogen supply chain. Enhanced hydrogen storage and compression can significantly improve the feasibility and efficiency of using hydrogen as a clean energy source, aligning with broader European decarbonization goals.

Technical specifications require state-of-the-art technology to ensure reliable operation under various conditions. This includes the need for robust safety measures due to hydrogen’s high flammability and the compression system’s pressures.

This tender fosters technological development and represents a substantial investment in Spain’s clean energy infrastructure. Advancements in hydrogen technology support the EU’s mission to transition to a sustainable energy system, reduce carbon footprints, and enhance energy security. Interested contractors are encouraged to review the detailed tender documents and submit proposals by the specified deadline.
