Spain Hydrogen dream: waking up to reality?
In Spain, the publication of the European Hydrogen Strategy in 2020 sparked widespread enthusiasm among the government, regional administrations, the private sector, and, to some extent, civil society. This momentum was reinforced a few months later with the release of the Hydrogen Roadmap for Spain, at a time when the country was grappling with the economic and social crisis caused by COVID-19. Hydrogen development was seen as a tool for industrial transformation and economic diversification, positioned as a key driver of green industrialisation. The roadmap set an ambitious electrolyzer target of 4 GW by 2030, representing 10% of the EU’s 40 GW goal.
