Aberdeen/UK – Wood has been selected as owner’s engineer on a major green hydrogen production project in Teruel, Spain. The first-of-a-kind Catalina Project, developed by a consortium led by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through its Copenhagen Infrastructure Energy Transition Fund I, will combine 1.5 GW of wind and solar energy to power a 500-MW electrolyzer producing green hydrogen.

As the owner’s engineer, Wood will lead as a technical authority of Catalina’s green hydrogen generation plant including technology selection, preliminary studies, front end engineering and design (Feed) and EPC tendering support.

Set to produce enough green hydrogen to satisfy 15 % of Spain’s current hydrogen demand, the Catalina project will position Spain as a world-class green hydrogen hub. The hydrogen produced by the facility will supply the demand of the local, regional and national industries, helping to decarbonize hard-to-abate fertilizer and petrochemical sectors, as well as contributing to Spanish and European renewable hydrogen targets.
