Produce highly combustible H2 with an innovative 1MW electrolyser, using marine-based renewable energy.
H2Heat aims to produce green hydrogen by utilizing an innovative 1MW electrolyser that harnesses renewable energy generated from offshore wind farms. This process ensures that hydrogen production is not only clean but also scalable, offering a renewable energy alternative that can reduce reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation.
Establish island infrastructure for transporting H2 from production facility to end user.
One of the key challenges for hydrogen adoption is the establishment of a robust infrastructure to transport hydrogen. H2Heat focuses on creating an efficient and sustainable network to transport hydrogen from the production facility to end users on the island, ensuring the feasibility of hydrogen as an energy source in remote island communities.
Use the H2 produced for consumption by a large hospital consumer.
The project intends to use the hydrogen produced to power large-scale consumers, specifically a hospital in the region. This demonstrates the versatility of hydrogen, not only as an industrial fuel but as a reliable energy source for critical infrastructure, contributing to energy security in the healthcare sector.
Use an innovative H2-CHP and heat pump combined system.
To maximize energy efficiency, H2Heat will deploy a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system integrated with a heat pump. This innovative combination uses hydrogen to generate both electricity and heat, reducing overall energy consumption and providing a more sustainable heating solution, especially for sectors with high thermal energy demand.
Reduce costs at all stage of the value chain by innovation.
The H2Heat project aims to bring down the costs associated with hydrogen production, storage, and transportation. By focusing on technological innovation and improvements across the value chain, the project will make hydrogen a more affordable option for both industrial and residential consumers, contributing to the widespread adoption of this clean energy source.
Partner with the SCS (Servicio Canario de la Salud) and enable it deliver on its Health Zer0 net Emissions Strategy.
H2Heat is committed to supporting the public sector’s environmental goals. By partnering with the Canary Islands’ Health Service (SCS), the project aligns with their strategy for achieving zero-net emissions in healthcare. This partnership helps demonstrate how hydrogen can be integrated into public infrastructure and play a role in achieving national decarbonization targets.
Support the ‘Hydrogen valley’ concept for the island of Gran Canaria and other islands.
H2Heat will contribute to the creation of a “Hydrogen Valley,” an initiative aimed at integrating hydrogen into multiple sectors on the island of Gran Canaria and other islands in the Canary archipelago. The project will help build a regional hydrogen ecosystem, promoting collaboration between stakeholders and laying the groundwork for future hydrogen-powered initiatives.
Advance the EU goals for climate protection, energy independence and economic growth.
By showcasing the viability of green hydrogen, the H2Heat project will support the European Union’s broader climate protection and energy independence goals. The project will contribute to reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy security, and fostering economic growth in the renewable energy sector, aligning with EU objectives for a sustainable energy transition.
