The company will manufacture 20 units of its *full skid* solution, equipped with 40 Ingecon H2 E6000 rectifiers, at its facilities in Sesma (Navarra) for a 133 megawatt green hydrogen project at BP’s refinery in Lingen, Germany. This equipment will power the electrolysers that will produce up to 11,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, contributing to the decarbonisation of the industrial process. The electricity will come from an offshore wind power purchase agreement, replacing the use of grey hydrogen, which is generated in a CO2-intensive process.
The Lingen refinery, which processes around 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day, pioneered the use of renewable hydrogen in 2018. This new award consolidates Ingeteam as a key player in the transition towards large-scale renewable hydrogen production, exceeding half a gigawatt of technology supplied or in production. It also reaffirms the technological alliance with the electrolyser manufacturer and reinforces the industry’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
Harkaitz Ibaiondo, Ingeteam’s Green H2 business manager, highlighted the company’s pride in participating in a project of such magnitude, which represents an important milestone for the company. To date, Ingeteam has supplied its technology to power electrolysers in countries such as Germany, Belgium, Australia, Spain, the United States and Canada.
Navarra is currently promoting green hydrogen as an energy vector that contributes to the decarbonisation of its economy in combination with other technologies and energies. With the aim of developing this sector, our region participates in several relevant and promising initiatives on Green H2.
-
Navarra’s Green Hydrogen Agenda. Navarra has developed the Navarra Green Hydrogen Agenda, whose time horizon covers until 2030, and where it is committed to reaching 150MW of installed electrolysis capacity, the promotion of complementary biogas installations and carbon capture technologies, and the deployment of systems production and consumption systems, mainly in segments that are difficult to electrify.
-
Ebro Hydrogen Corridor. Public-private, inter-territorial and multi-sector cooperation project, which will promote actions in all areas of the green hydrogen value chain (production, transportation, uses and storage), thus developing the hydrogen economy and leading the Hydrogen value chain Green in southern Europe. Its ultimate goal is the decarbonization of the economy and transportation, as well as the development of local technological and industrial capabilities.
-
Working Community of the Pyrenees. Its main objective is to contribute to the development of the Pyrenean region through a cross-border cooperation structure. And among other projects, the CTP seeks to develop the Hydrogen economy through the creation of cross-border infrastructures, training activities, R&D and industrial collaboration and hydrogen-based mobility.
