Avalon seeking permits for hydrogen plant

Avalon Renovables says that it has begun the administrative process to obtain environmental permits for the company’s planned Arquillo green hydrogen plant at Jerez de la Frontera. The plant is one of eight green hydrogen plants planned as part of the Bays of Algeciras and Cádiz Project (PBAC), with pipeline tie-ins to the future green ammonia plant in Campo de Gibraltar. The plant will include a 47 MW solar voltaic power plant called Arquillo, feeding 35 MW of electrolysis capacity, with an estimated output of 4,900 t/a of hydrogen.

Avalon has also begun the permitting process for other plants in the project, including those in Villamartín and Puerto Serrano, which will add up to 350 MW of power and have already obtained 37.4 million euros in European funding, as well as the Los Barrios plant, whose construction is scheduled for 2027 and where it will transform hydrogen into up to 800,000 t/a of green ammonia.
