Cepsa and Getec have reached a cooperation agreement where the Spanish energy company will supply green hydrogen and its derivatives to Getec for use by its industry clients as part of their decarbonization goals. Getec provides heating, cooling and electricity to industry clients in various sectors, including the chemical, pharmaceutical and biopolymer industries, and has regional platforms in Germany, the BeNeLux, Switzerland and Italy.
Cepsa plans to start the first green hydrogen exports from Spain by 2026, said the company in a press release. The green hydrogen supply will arrive at the Port of Rotterdam, where hydrogen infrastructure is being developed for such intake, and from there will be delivered to final supply points ready for use in the form Getec’s customers require.
The agreement between the two companies reportedly represents the first commercial export deal for the Spanish company since announcing the launch of the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley in southern Spain – the largest green hydrogen hub in Europe – and its agreement with the Port of Rotterdam to create the first green maritime corridor between southern and northern Europe.
Cepsa also has an agreement with ACE Terminal in the Port of Rotterdam to supply green ammonia for conversion into green hydrogen for multiple industries in northern Europe or for direct use in different applications, including bunkering.
