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

The Section warns of missed opportunities due to the lack of auctions and a stable and agile regulatory framework. Marine R&D suffered a serious setback when Royal Decree-Law 7/2025, which would have streamlined the process, was not ratified. Recent additions strengthen a more diverse and robust Board of Directors that aims to develop the various technologies that comprise marine energy in Spain.
