The Regional Government of Extremadura has authorised, through the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Sustainable Development, the first hydrogen production project using ‘P2G’ technology in Spain, located in Miajadas (Cáceres), making the region a pioneer in this type of facility. It is a Turn2x project and this technology consists of obtaining hydrogen by electrolysis of water, for subsequent combination with carbon dioxide in a reactor designed for the purpose, to generate the Sabatier reaction, a process at high pressure and temperature, resulting in synthetic methane (SNG) and water (CO2 + 4H2 ¿ CH4 + 2H2O). The gas obtained will be injected into the distribution network of Distribuidora Gas Extremadura, S.A. In order to start up this project, the General Directorate of Industry, Energy and Mines has carried out the entire process to legalise this renewable gas plant. The uniqueness of this project in terms of its process is that it is the first plant to be installed not only in Extremadura but also in Spain, constituting a pilot installation with a view to the implementation of another plant with a similar process in the same town, but on a much larger scale than the one described. In this way, Extremadura becomes a pioneer in the implementation of this type of process and in its legalisation, since it is a pilot plant for the implementation of another plant with a similar process in the same town, but on a much larger scale than the one described.
