Zaragoza, October 31^st, 2024 - The Aragonese Environmental Management Institute has initiated the Public Hearing procedure for the Environmental Impact Assessment and the basic project for the Integrated Environmental Authorization of the green hydrogen and ammonia production plant to be located in the municipality of Caspe (Zaragoza), promoted by Alkeymia.

Alkeymia, a Spanish company focused on the development of hydrogen production and green derivatives projects, strengthens its position in Aragón as its first project enters the Public Information phase. On October 18th, it was already granted the Declaration of Regional Interest, marking another step in the maturity of a strategic project for the company.

The so-called Pilar Project will consist of two plants: one dedicated to hydrogen production and another for green ammonia synthesis. The project is expected to produce approximately 30,000 tons of hydrogen and 160,000 tons of ammonia annually, the latter intended for use as a raw material in fertilizer production, chemical products, and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as fuel for the maritime sector. The company has already secured the main permits (land, water rights, electricity consumption) and is currently developing a logistical solution for transporting the molecule from the project site to consumption locations.

FIVE PROJECTS IN PUBLIC HEARING

With the Public Hearing process for Proyecto Pilar underway, Alkeymia will have completed this procedure for five projects by the end of 2024, totaling 1,200 MW of electrolysis capacity across various regions of the Iberian Peninsula (Castilla y León, Aragón, and Andalucía), strengthening its commitment to decarbonization.

The group has a portfolio of over 2,000 MW of electrolysis capacity under development to decarbonize industry by selling sustainable derivatives to consumer industries. To achieve this, the company leverages electricity generated from its wind and photovoltaic projects to produce green hydrogen, which is then used as a key component in synthesizing sustainable industrial derivatives such as methanol and ammonia.
