OKAlpiq, Campillo Palmera and Ecoinversol launch pioneering Green Hydrogen Mobility project in Murcia
The initiative aims to catalyze a sustainable, pioneering project in the region's freight transport sector, with plans to expand into industrial applications, thus strengthening the local economy in Molina de Segura and the region of Murcia. This municipality, recognized as a vibrant industrial hub and located a short distance from the capital, stands out as a strategic point for this initiative, thanks to its prominent role in national and international freight transport and its proximity to the mediterranean corridor.
The project will incorporate a 10 MW electrolyzer powered by dedicated solar PV. Alpiq Energía España will supply the additional energy required through a PPA from 100% renewable sources, ensuring compliance with the European green hydrogen taxonomy. With an estimated production of approximately 1,200 tons of green hydrogen per year, the project is designed to significantly reduce the carbon footprint, offsetting around 14,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
In this context, Paula del Castillo, Country Manager of Alpiq Energía España, comments: “With this project, Alpiq underlines its commitment to a sustainable energy business. We are pleased to promote the development of green hydrogen as one of the most important energy vectors in the decarbonization process in Spain, and especially in logistics activity, mainly in long distance Operations.”
As part of this plan, a green hydrogen refueling station will be developed within Campillo Palmera's logistics facilities, which will not only serve its fleet, but will also be available to meet the needs of other interested entities. After more than 15 years at the forefront of the green transition, Campillo Palmera is taking another step in its journey using clean technologies, in addition to its plans to introduce fuel cell-powered trucks in 2026.
Alpiq, a leading Swiss electricity producer in Europe with a strong presence in the hydrogen chain through projects such as the Swiss Hydrospider ecosystem, brings invaluable experience, further strengthening this collaboration. For its part, Ecoinversol, with a long history of promoting and developing renewable energies in Spain, joins this coalition, emphasizing sustainable and environmentally friendly energy management.
Ralph Dassonville, head of Alpiq's Hydrogen Development team, underlines: “This project marks a milestone in our strategy in Spain. Our goal is to position ourselves as a reliable provider of mobility through green hydrogen in Europe, and Molina de Segura represents our first significant step on this path in Spain.”
Joaquín Campillo, CEO of Campillo Palmera, adds: “Pioneers in sustainability for more than fifteen years, we started by purifying all our wastewater, continued incorporating to our fleet ecologically advanced tractor-trailers with low-emission engines, reaching today 100% use of electric energy of sustainable origin. Now we are taking another revolutionary leap, getting involved in this ambitious project that fully identifies with our environmental protection policy and prepares us to incorporate into our fleet vehicles powered by green hydrogen, with the ambition of having, by the end of this decade, vehicles with reduced emissions.”
Juan Carlos de Pablo, managing partner of Ecoinversol, notes: “In 2018 we pioneered the development of the first integrated green hydrogen project for the Spanish logistics sector, which has been operational since 2022; this new project represents a change of scale and a technological leap in the growth of innovative applications of this energy vector.”
With the launch of this green hydrogen platform, all entities involved are committed to setting a new standard in clean energy, aiming to transform Molina de Segura into a sustainable logistics center through the use of green hydrogen as a fuel for road freight transport in Europe.
