Iberdrola Receives AENOR's Renewable Hydrogen Certificate

Iberdrola's commitment to sustainability has taken a new step forward by becoming the first company to obtain AENOR's Renewable Hydrogen certificate for its Puertollano plant and Barcelona hydrogen plants.

This recognition verifies that Iberdrola produces hydrogen from renewable energy sources that are environmentally friendly and climate neutral.

Specifically, the AENOR 'Verification of renewable hydrogen' seal covers the hydrogen generation, storage and marketing process, as well as the organisation's management system.

This recognition accredits that Iberdrola complies with the European regulation, using water electrolysis technology and that the electricity used for the same comes exclusively from renewable energies.

The certificate was collected by Ibán Molina, Iberdrola's Director of Green Hydrogen Spain, and presented by Antonio Contreras, Director of AENOR in Castilla-La Mancha, at a ceremony held at Iberdrola's green hydrogen plant in Puertollano.

Ibán Molina stated that "we are proud of this certification. It is a clear demonstration of Iberdrola's role in the generation of renewable hydrogen to decarbonise the economy. In this sense, hydrogen is a success story in Puertollano and Barcelona, where it is helping to decarbonize processes where electrification does not reach, which serves to continue fighting for a sustainable horizon".

Antonio Contreras explained that "AENOR is committed to the fight against climate change, and we do so by providing a wide range of certifications related to environmental preservation, carbon management and climate change mitigation actions. Congratulations to Iberdrola, as it is the first company to achieve AENOR recognition for renewable hydrogen, a key energy vector for moving towards a carbon footprint-free economy model."
