This initiative is the first of its kind in the tourism industry.
Iberostar Group, ACCIONA Energía and Enagás have signed an agreement that makes us the first consumer of renewable hydrogen in the Spanish tourism sector. This initiative, the first of its kind in the tourism industry, will allow for the supply of green hydrogen energy to all our hotels on Mallorca, cutting their natural gas consumption by between 2% and 5%. This is a further milestone on our road map to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.
This clean fuel will be produced at Spain’s first renewable hydrogen plant, located in the municipality of Lloseta (Mallorca). Via the gas network, the renewable hydrogen will cut Iberostar Group’s consumption of fossil fuels at our facilities. Furthermore, ACCIONA Energía guarantees the traceability of the supply thanks to its use of GreenH2Chain® blockchain technology. This tool allows the consumption of the renewable hydrogen included in the gas supply mix to be quantified, recorded and monitored, thereby favouring the proportional decarbonisation of the hotels on Mallorca, and in turn contributing to the development of a sustainable tourism model for the Balearic Islands.
The agreement contemplates hydrogen sales and Guarantees of Origin to Iberostar Group of between 5 and 10 tons out of the more than 300 tons of green hydrogen that the Lloseta plant is set to produce as part of the Balearic Island Government’s strategic industrial project ‘Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca’, developed by ACCIONA Energía, Enagás, IDAE and Cemex in collaboration with Redexis.
