Siemens and Portugal-based Galp Energia are collaborating to digitalise GalpH2Park in Sines, Portugal. The plant will be one of Europe's largest renewable hydrogen plants once it starts operating at the end of 2026. For the 100 MW hydrogen facility of the first project phase, Siemens is deploying its software portfolio for the hydrogen industry, enabling smarter operations and optimising the value of the plant. With this deployment, Galp and Siemens are shaping the future of digitally optimised renewable hydrogen production on an industrial scale.
"GalpH2Park is a lighthouse for Europe's energy transition”, said Axel Lorenz, EVP, Automation Process Industries, Siemens. “We are convinced that digital innovation is the key to making renewable hydrogen economically viable and accelerating the decarbonisation of industry. Siemens is turning this ambition into industrial reality – at scale."
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Powered by renewable electricity sourced through long-term supply agreements and Galp's own renewable generation capacity, the GalpH2Park plant is set to produce up to 15 000 tpy of renewable hydrogen. This is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 110 000 tpy of CO₂ equivalent (Scope 1) – a meaningful contribution to Portugal's and Europe's decarbonisation targets.
