REPSOL / PETRONOR INNOVATION | The Basque Hydrogen Corridor Association

71 companies and entities, led by Repsol/Petronor Innovation, have joined forces to create the Basque Hydrogen Corridor Association, BH2C - to promote the development of the Basque Hydrogen Corridor.

In its first assembly, held in the Guggenheim Museum, José Ignacio Zudaire, president of BH2C, stated that “the creation of the association is proof of the firm commitment of companies and entities to advance in decarbonisation, using hydrogen as an energy vector”.

The Basque Hydrogen Corridor, presented in February this year, was created to promote decarbonisation in strategic sectors such as energy, mobility, industry and services. The project will be funded with over 1,500 million euros up to 2026, and will create more than 1,340 direct and 6,700 indirect jobs.

Among the projects in the Basque Hydrogen Corridor is that of synthetic fuel plants that Repsol/Petronor plans to build in the port of Bilbao, using captured CO² and green hydrogen obtained from water electrolysis using renewable energy as raw materials, with 67 million euros of investment planned.
