Enagás, Spain's energy operator, has officially launched the public participation plan for the country's ambitious hydrogen backbone network project. The network, unveiled in Puertollano, Castilla-La Mancha, spans 2,600 kilometers, connecting 13 autonomous communities and over 550 municipalities. Recognized by the EU as a Project of Common Interest, it has secured 75 million euros in funding. Enagás plans to repurpose natural gas pipelines for the infrastructure, aiming for operational capacity by 2030. The hydrogen corridors will include routes like the Vía de la Plata and the Ebro Valley, integrating with the cross-border H2Med corridor to link Spain, Portugal, and France. The project signals Spain's progress in advancing its hydrogen infrastructure and solidifying its role as a pivotal energy hub in Europe.
