Ayesa Ingeniería Leading Spain's Green Hydrogen Pipeline Network Expansion
Key Ideas
  • Ayesa Ingeniería selected by Enagás for Spain's ambitious green hydrogen initiative, aiming to invest over €3 billion in establishing a national hydrogen pipeline network.
  • Ayesa to conduct basic and detailed engineering for segments of the hydrogen pipeline, with an expected investment of around €60 million over the next two to three years.
  • Spain's goal is to position itself as a key player in the global hydrogen economy by creating major hydrogen corridors totaling 2,600 kilometers, connecting production sites with industrial zones.
  • The project focuses on utilizing existing gas infrastructure routes and repurposing natural gas pipelines to minimize environmental impact and accelerate the deployment of green hydrogen.
Ayesa Ingeniería has been entrusted by Enagás to play a pivotal role in Spain's multibillion-euro green hydrogen initiative aimed at establishing a nation-wide hydrogen pipeline network. The project, with a projected investment exceeding €3 billion, seeks to position Spain as a leading European hub for renewable energy through the distribution of green hydrogen. Ayesa will undertake both basic and detailed engineering for various sections of the hydrogen pipeline, with an estimated investment of about €60 million. The company plans to manage the majority of its tasks from its industrial headquarters in Seville. Green hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity, is considered a clean alternative to natural gas. Spain's objective is to become a significant player in the global hydrogen economy by developing a robust domestic distribution network. Enagás, the entity currently in charge of the nation's gas infrastructure, will oversee the new hydrogen system's management and lead its initial stages. The initiative's first phase involves constructing two major hydrogen corridors totaling 2,600 kilometers, connecting major industrial consumption zones with large-scale production sites. These corridors will consist of both new installations and repurposed underground pipelines, divided into 15 segments across five main corridors: Vía de la Plata, Cantabrian Coast, Levante, Transversal Castilla-La Mancha, and Ebro Valley. A strategic approach will repurpose about 21% of existing natural gas pipelines to expedite deployment while minimizing environmental impact, utilizing over 80% of the network infrastructure from current gas routes.
