EDP will receive 35 million euros for its plans to convert Aboo and Soto de Ribera’s coal-fired power plants into centers for the production of renewable gas, and the consortium made up of Hunosa, Duro Felguera, Nortegas, and Alsa will receive an additional 4 million euros to produce green hydrogen using mine water in Langreo’s Fondón well.
In the sector of renewable hydrogen, Asturias is working on 26 projects that will attract more than 10,400 million in investments.
Asturias will pursue research on using renewables to create, store, and utilise low-emission green hydrogen. It is part of a nationwide program in which the CSIC collaborates with eight other communities and is funded by European funding as well as contributions from the communities themselves.
