Sunfire to deliver electrolysers to Spanish hydrogen projects

Global Hydrogen Review,
Sunfire, a global electrolysis company, will supply two 100 MW electrolysers for renewable hydrogen projects in Spain. The first project, led by Repsol – Spain’s largest hydrogen producer – and Enagás Renovable, will install a 100 MW electrolyser near Repsol’s industrial complex in Cartagena. The second 100 MW plant will be located at Petronor’s refinery in Muskiz, Bilbao, which is owned by Repsol and Kutxabank.
Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire, stated: “Spain offers strong conditions for green hydrogen, and we recognised this potential early on. We are proud that Repsol is once again choosing our proven pressurised alkaline technology to produce renewable hydrogen at scale. Together, we are advancing Spain’s leading role in green hydrogen.”
Spanish hydrogen projects built on reliable electrolysis solutions
For each of the two 100 MW projects, Sunfire will deliver ten of its proven pressurised alkaline electrolyser modules, each with a 10 MW capacity. The plants will be integrated into existing refinery operations and become part of the regional hydrogen infrastructure. Once commissioned in 2029, each 100 MW plant will produce up to 15 000 tpy of hydrogen using renewable electricity. The renewable hydrogen will be supplied to Repsol’s industrial complexes to manufacture essential fuels with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Each project is expected to avoid up to 167 000 tpy of CO2 emissions.
Sunfire has already delivered a 10 MW pressurised alkaline electrolyser to Basque Hydrogen, a project of Petronor, EVE and Enagas Renovable in Spain, now being installed at the Port of Bilbao. The 200 MW follow-up order underscores the Sunfire’s reliability, scalability, and execution strength. Beyond its partnership with Repsol, Sunfire holds additional strong industrial references, including a 100 MW order from RWE in Lingen, Germany
Partnerships support Spain’s 2030 electrolysis targets
The projects represent a significant step forward in Repsol’s roadmap to replace conventional hydrogen with renewable hydrogen across its industrial sites. At the same time, they will contribute to Spain’s decarbonisation targets by 2030 and to reinforce the development of the renewable hydrogen market, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and reinforcing energy security.
