HyDeal España announces partnerships with four EPC firms: VINCI Construction, Técnicas Reunidas, PowerChina Guizhou Engineering and TSK

HyDeal España, the first industrial implementation of the HyDeal Ambition platform, has selected VINCI Construction (in collaboration with Cobra IS, a VINCI Group company), Técnicas Reunidas, and PowerChina Guizhou Engineering to produce the technical design, architecture and supply chain of the first HyDeal España plants. The three companies will work to design the highest performance and most cost effective solar-to-hydrogen systems to produce HyDeal España’s renewable hydrogen on the basis of ambitious, pre-agreed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) cost targets. HyDeal España and the EPC firms will be supported by TSK as Owner’s Engineer. 

Announced in February 2022, HyDeal España is an industrial joint venture formed by ArcelorMittal, Enagás, Grupo Fertiberia and DH2 Energy. HyDeal España will deliver competitive renewable hydrogen to an industrial complex in Asturias from facilities based in northern Spain. The total installed capacity is expected to reach 9.5 GW of solar power and 7.4 GW of electrolyzers. Production is targeted to start by the end of 2025, to produce about 150,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year from 2026 and reach 330,000 tons in 2030. ArcelorMittal and Grupo Fertiberia have announced their intention to contract, together with other key off-takers, the supply of 6.6 million tons of renewable hydrogen over 20 years.

VINCI Construction (in collaboration with Cobra IS, a VINCI Group company), Técnicas Reunidas and PowerChina Guizhou Engineering will present their initial technical and economic proposals in the course of the year. Following this basic design phase, HyDeal España will validate the final EPC companies responsible for conducting the Design Engineering Project (FEED) and subsequent project execution (EPC). During the subsequent design engineering and project execution phases, the selected EPC companies will work in close collaboration with TSK to complete the development and construction of HyDeal’s España renewable hydrogen production sites, which will form the largest integrated renewable and competitive hydrogen hub in Europe. They will collaborate with OEMs across the supply chain, especially electrolyzer producers, with a view to securing GW-scale of competitive equipment supply and fostering Europe-based industry.
