Spanish long steel producer CELSA Group has has joined The Spanish Hydrogen Network project, SHYNE, which is the largest renewable hydrogen consortium in Spain, made up of 33 entities from different sectors to promote the decarbonization of the economy through renewable hydrogen. CELSA Group’s participation in this project is fully aligned with the company’s aspiration to become Net Positive by 2040, one of the objectives included in their Sustainability Roadmap. The family company that produces circular and low-emission steel, thanks to the use of steel production technology in electric arc furnaces, -the most efficient and sustainable that currently exist-, seeks to introduce hydrogen into its production processes to contribute to advance its complete decarbonization.

SHYNE will deploy projects in ten autonomous communities and have a total investment of EUR 3.23 billion euros that will serve to develop more competitive technologies and evolve both the Spanish industry and its infrastructure towards decarbonization. Among the consortium’s objectives is the ambition to reach an installed capacity of 500 MW in 2025 and 2 GW in 2030. This is half of the target set in the Hydrogen Roadmap published by the Spanish Government.

In addition, projects will be promoted throughout the value chain, including installing renewable generation and stimulating the different industrial uses of hydrogen through a strong sectoral integration. It will also promote the use of hydrogen in all transportation segments, through the production of synthetic fuels and the creation of an infrastructure with at least 12 hydrogen filling stations by 2025.

The consortium will be a national collaboration network that will support all projects and manage the knowledge and research of pioneering technologies, promoting competitiveness and the creation of quality employment. The commitment of the participating entities and the sum of their capabilities will place Spain at the technological forefront, as one of the powers in the renewable hydrogen economy in Europe.
