雷普索尔叫停西班牙绿氢项目

Core Viewpoint - Repsol, in collaboration with partners, has officially announced the cancellation of the planned 200 MW renewable hydrogen project in the Melamar region of northwest Spain due to economic infeasibility [1] Project Overview - The project was intended to be built on the site of the former Melamar coal power plant owned by the Spanish gas company, aiming to supply green hydrogen to Repsol's La Coruña refinery [1] - The decision to halt the project was made after a comprehensive evaluation by the three parties involved [1] Key Reasons for Cancellation - Lack of essential renewable energy infrastructure for the green hydrogen project, which was supposed to rely on an on-site wind farm to ensure competitive electricity pricing; however, the surrounding renewable energy facilities were found to be insufficient, leading to increased electricity procurement costs [1] - Significant cost overruns, with capital expenditures (CAPEX) rising by over 50% since the subsidy application in 2022, compounded by additional costs for constructing pipelines to transport green hydrogen to the La Coruña industrial area, resulting in a loss of market competitiveness for the project [1]
