DH2 Energy’s green hydrogen production project has been granted national interest status by the Portuguese Agency for Investment and Foreign Trade (AICEP).
The Potential National Interest (PIN) status for the VVR Green project will act as a support system for investments that are considered of “special interest for Portugal due to their economic factors and positive impact.”
DH2’s production plant will be located in Vila Velha de Ródão, in Castelo Branco, and boasts an initial capacity of 35MW of electrolysis and 49MWp of solar photovoltaic. The facility could be expanded to 75MW of hydrogen production in its second phase.
H2 View understands that up to 1,650 tonnes per year of hydrogen will be produced in VVR Green’s initial phase.
“We are very satisfied and grateful for the recognition that comes with being granted PIN status for our VVR Green project,” claimed Nuno Gonçalves, the Director of DH2 Energy Portugal.
Gonçalves explained, “This initiative will contribute to the decarbonisation and revitalisation of the economy in the region.”
In July (2024), DH2 announced its 35MW green hydrogen production plant in Aragon, Spain, had secured an Integrated Environmental Authorisation, essentially giving the green light for development.
