Wood has been selected as owner’s engineer on a major green H₂ production project in Teruel, Spain. The first-of-a-kind Catalina Project, developed by a consortium led by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through its Copenhagen Infrastructure Energy Transition Fund I K/S, will combine 1.5 GW of wind and solar energy to power a 500-MW electrolyzer producing green H₂.

As the owner’s engineer, Wood will lead as a technical authority of Catalina’s green H₂ generation plant including technology selection, preliminary studies, front-end engineering and design (FEED) and EPC tendering support.

Set to produce enough green H₂ to satisfy 15% of Spain’s current H₂ demand, the Catalina project will position Spain as a world-class green H₂ hub. The H₂ produced by the facility will supply the demand of the local, regional and national industries, helping to decarbonize hard-to-abate fertilizer and petrochemical sectors, as well as contributing to Spanish and European renewable H₂ targets.

Giuseppe Zuccaro, President of Process & Chemicals Projects at Wood said, “We’re incredibly proud to be trusted by our partners to play a leading technical role on Catalina. Complex in nature and first-of-a-kind, Catalina is setting a global standard for large-scale green H₂ production projects and will support Spain’s energy transition journey.”

“We are combining Wood’s specialist H₂ expertise and proven ability to deliver complex projects with our strong engineering presence in the region. Catalina will expand our H₂ portfolio and consolidate our reputation as a partner of choice for H₂ production and industrial decarbonization projects.”

The project will be delivered by Wood’s consulting and projects teams in Spain and the UK.
