Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners announced that they have partnered with Spanish energy companies Enegás, Naturgy and Fertiberia. Also involved is a wind turbine manufacturer from Denmark. Together, the companies will be collaborating on Catalina Phase 1, which involves the generation of up to 1.7 gigawatts of solar and wind energy in Aragon, in Spain’s northeast. It will also include a 500-megawatt electrolyzer able to produce over 40,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually.The project will then involve linking Aragon with Valencia in Spain’s east with a pipeline. That pipeline will make it possible to transport the H2 to a green ammonia facility. According to CIP, the ammonia will then be upgraded into fertilizer.Project Catalina will eventually use the solar and wind energy to produce renewable hydrogen. After the initial phase, the project will continue forward for the development of 5GW of combined solar and wind energy. That will be used for powering a 2GW electrolyzer for the generation of green H2. Once fully implemented, Catalina will produce enough green hydrogen to supply 30% of Spain’s current hydrogen demand
