Fusion Fuel Green has announced that it has taken another step into accomplishing Spain’s ambitious National Hydrogen Strategy by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Grupo Zoilio Rios to develop the country’s first hydrogen refuelling stations.

This partnership is also important as it will represent the first hydrogen purchase agreement signed by a gas station operator in Spain.

With this agreement, Fusion Fuel will use its popular HEVO-SOLAR solution to supply green hydrogen to the El Cisne service station in Zaragoza.

This is remarkable as this particular site is situated next to the A2 Highway which is one of Spain’s main trunk roads connecting Madrid and Barcelona.

Fusion Fuel’s technology not only produces emissions-free green hydrogen but does so through utilizing solar radiation. This is designed to be completely modular making it an ideal solution to support the expansion of the Spanish fuel cell vehicle market in the coming years.

With Grupo Zoilo Rios committed to leading the transition to sustainable mobility, this deal will not only surge the rate of expansion but the acknowledgment for hydrogen power too.

Both companies will develop the first green hydrogen plant co-located with existing conventional refuelling infrastructure and will expand the first green hydrogen production footprint to the other Zoilo Rios service stations as the market develops.

Head of Business Development at Fusion Fuel, Joao Wahnon, stated, “Thanks to the excellent solar resource in Spain, our HEVO-SOLAR solution will be able to produce green hydrogen extremely competitively, making it a great market for our technology.”

This was echoed by Zoilo Rios, President of Grupo Zoilo Rios, “The inauguration of our first hydrogen refuelling point later this year will demonstrate our intention to pioneer the future of sustainable mobility in the Aragon region.”

“Our goal is to develop low-cost green hydrogen production to create long-term stable demand from new consumers in Spain.”

“Our partnership with Fusion Fuel further reinforces this commitment and we hope it will encourage logistics companies in the Plataforma Logistica de Zaragoza (PLAZA) as well as public transport operators to commit to decarbonization by switching to new clean energies such as green hydrogen.”
