Construction of Europe’s first industrial-scale hydrogen-from-waste facility
The European HYIELD project, co-funded by the European Commission’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership, aims to build Europe’s first industrial-scale waste-to-hydrogen plant.
It will integrate new technologies and processes to efficiently convert biogenic waste streams into high-purity green hydrogen that can contribute to the decarbonisation of different sectors.
Thus, during its four-year duration, the demonstration pilot located at Cemex’s Alcanar plant (Tarragona) is expected to process more than 2,000 tonnes of waste and produce around 400 tonnes of green hydrogen, which will be tested for various industrial uses such as clean fuels, fertiliser manufacture and the iron and steel industry.
