The Port of Malaga is committed to the development of projects based on the use of renewable energies infrastructures located in the port area, with the aim of contributing to a clean economy and to the mitigation of climate change.

The project called Digital H2 Green (DH2Green), is promoted by the public organization together with Buran Energy, and is formed by 13 national and international organizations. This consortium will work to improve energy efficiency in the port by proposing an innovative process to produce a combination of electricity, renewable hydrogen and ammonia.

Project development

The pilot plant in which Artificial Intelligence will manage the efficiency of the project is set to be built at the Buran Terminal (ODT) in the Port of Malaga.

The power generation, storage and supply operations of green H2 will be carried out from these facilities in containers minimizing the space used and facilitating its transport, as a suitable model for small-scale projects.

The purpose of this project is to promote the distributed energy generation as a pillar of sustainable self-consumption in the port community through electric and hydrogen recharge stations, mainly for ships and land vehicles. This would allow 65% of GHG emissions reduction.

The Port Authority has submitted, together with specialized companies, the call for the European Green Deal financed by the Horizon 2020 program. The purpose of the project is to design and implement a smart network linked to the production of green hydrogen and ammonia in the port area.
