European Commission competition officials have given the green light to €1.2 billion in government support for Spain’s fledgling renewable hydrogen industry, in a further boost to the country’s ambition of becoming a major producer of the climate friendly fuel. Under a scheme that will be funded entirely from Madrid’s share of the EU recovery fund set up in the wake of the covid pandemic, production plants with a capacity of 100 megawatts or more can apply for state support to develop ‘hydrogen valleys’ across the country. Green hydrogen is produced using renewable electricity – Spain has huge...

Offshore wind has become a staple of renewable energy production. But so far it has been mostly limited to shallow waters, restricting how many countries can take advantage of it. That could soon change thanks to floating wind. The technology consists of a turbine mounted on a buoyant substructure and anchored to the seabed with chains. This means it can be deployed in seas of 300 metres deep and more, compared to the more traditional system of mounting turbines on the seabed, which becomes uneconomical in depths of more than 60 metres. Because it allows wind production in deeper waters, the t...

In a small boat bobbing in the waves between towering offshore windturbines, researchers in Europe’s Baltic Sea reach into the frigid water and remove long lines stretched between the pylons onto which mussels and seaweed are growing. It’s part of efforts to explore multiple uses for remote wind parks far out at sea, such as fresh seafood production. Run by the Swedish state-owned power firm Vattenfall and Denmark’s Aarhus University, the four-year project started in 2023 off the Danish east coast at Scandinavia’s largest wind farm, Kriegers Flak. With its first harvest just 18 months later, i...

A new wind farm in Portugal has obtained environmental approval from the government - and once built it will become the country’s largest. Renewable energy company Iberdrola will integrate the plant into the Tâmega pumped-storage hydro complex in northern Portugal. The new wind farm will have a capacity of 274 MW, able to support the annual consumption of 128,000 homes. Iberdrola says they will introduce a range of measures to safeguard the environment around the new plant. Portugal’s largest wind farm gets the green lightIberdrola has obtained the second and final environmental permit for the...
