What happened

With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen production.

So-called ‘green’ hydrogen is produced using renewable energy – such as wind, solar and hydropower. Here’s why the EU is doubling down on green hydrogen, how Spain is involved, and why some are critical of this ‘fuel of the future’.
