Fusion Fuel Announces Participation in Four Projects Pre-Selected for Grants through Spain’s H2 Pioneros Program
21 November 2022 - 8:30PM
Fusion Fuel (Nasdaq: HTOO) announced today that four projects in
Spain, in which the company is involved as a technology provider,
have been pre-selected for up to €12.9 million in grant
funding. If successful, the grants will be awarded through the
H2 Pioneros Program, which has a current year budget of €150
million and aims to support commercial projects across the
renewable hydrogen value chain. H2 Pioneros is one of the first
funding calls under the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery
and Transformation (‘PERTE’) program, a €6.9 billion financing tool
created under Spain’s recovery and resilience facility, to support
projects and initiatives in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and
energy storage.
Fusion Fuel is expected to supply a total of 423 HEVO-Solar
units to the four projects, equivalent to 10.5 MW of electrolysis
capacity, which would reach final investment decision in 2023 and
be delivered on a turnkey basis in 2024. These four projects would
generate €31.7 million in revenue, of which an estimated €16.4
million would be derived from the sale of Fusion Fuel technology.
All four projects have secured land for their respective
development, and the companies expect to commence permitting once
the terms of acceptance for the grants are signed. Three of the
projects are focused on hydrogen refueling, a reflection of Fusion
Fuel’s strategic focus on the development of a mobility backbone
throughout Iberia, while the fourth will produce green hydrogen for
local industrial use.
Joao Wahnon, Fusion Fuel’s Chief Business Development Officer,
said, “This is a crucial milestone for Fusion Fuel’s commercial
aspirations in the Spanish market. With this first slate of
approvals from the H2 Pioneros Program, we are positioned to
replicate the model we have successfully employed in Portugal:
securing meaningful grant funding that enables us to quickly
establish a leading position in the nascent green hydrogen
ecosystem. These new projects will build on our experience in the
green hydrogen mobility sector, a strategy that began with our
Exolum project in Madrid, which will be Spain’s first ever
integrated solar-to-green hydrogen refueling station. We want to
thank our business partners at Fusion Fuel Spain, as well as the
Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic
Challenge for this important vote of confidence.”
Fusion Fuel is also involved in an additional project that was
submitted to the Cadena de Valor Program, a separate €250 million
funding call, also through PERTE, that is focused on the advancing
the renewable hydrogen value chain through the development of
technological prototypes, testing facilities and new manufacturing
lines. That project consists of 815 HEVO-Solar units, equivalent to
20.4 MW of electrolysis capacity, and would represent potential
tech sale revenue of €26.8 million. The company expects to receive
a decision on Cadena de Valor in early 2023.
