Spain accelerates green hydrogen production with €126 million in its first national auction

Spain has selected two renewable hydrogen projects for a combined €126.4 million under its first national “auction-as-a-service” (AaaS) scheme, after both initiatives had been preselected by the European Commission in the second general auction of the European Hydrogen Bank but failed to obtain EU funding due to exhausted budgets. The Government is strengthening its commitment to renewable green hydrogen as a substitute for fossil energy and as a tool to cut CO₂ emissions in industry, heavy transport and other hard-to-abate sectors.
