Thyssenkrupp nucera has signed a contract with Moeve for Southern Europe’s largest green hydrogen project. The Dortmund-based electrolysis specialist will install 300 MW of alkaline water electrolysis technology in Huelva, Andalusia. This will produce approximately 45,000 tons of green hydrogen per year and reduce CO2 emissions by around 250,000 tons annually.
Moeve is advancing the “Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley” project in the La Rábida Energy Park in the port city of Huelva. Under the contract, Thyssenkrupp nucera will deliver 15 standardized 20 MW electrolyzers for the first phase of the project, known as Onuba.
“Together with its partners, Moeve is establishing a strategic hub for clean energy in southern Spain to strengthen Europe’s energy and industrial resilience,” said Maarten Wetselaar, CEO of Moeve. And Werner Ponikwar, CEO of Thyssenkrupp nucera, emphasizes: “Onuba demonstrates that large green hydrogen projects can progress and reach final investment decision even in volatile markets when the framework conditions are right.”
According to the company, the project is the first phase of Moeve’s “Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley.” The goal is to build a scalable hydrogen value chain in southern Spain. The region’s solar and wind resources, as well as strategic port infrastructure and existing transport corridors, are intended to connect production with industrial demand in Northern Europe.
