Green Hysland extends its horizon to 2027 to cement renewable hydrogen in island ecosystems

/in ,

The European project Green Hysland, in which the Spanish National Hydrogen Centre (CNH2) is a partner, has announced an extension through to the end of 2027, adding two years to the timeline originally envisaged and reinforcing its ambition to position Mallorca as a replicable benchmark for decarbonisation in island territories.

Green Hysland aims to deploy in Mallorca a fully fledged renewable hydrogen ecosystem spanning the entire value chain: production powered by solar energy, distribution infrastructure, and end uses in mobility, heat and electricity—including injection into the gas grid. Within the project framework, the integration of five pilot sites is being implemented alongside electrolysis capacity coupled to photovoltaic plants, with the objective of demonstrating real-world operability and laying the groundwork for a large-scale hydrogen hub in southern Europe.

 

Our role

CNH2’s contribution focuses on assessing the environmental impact of the project’s technologies and processes through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies, generating indicators that quantify environmental performance and inform decision-making throughout the deployment and evolution of the ecosystem. In addition, in line with the project’s broader approach, CNH2 supports the workstreams on scale-up, replication and capacity-building, facilitating the transfer of lessons learned to other territories.

By extending to 2027, Green Hysland strengthens its ability to accelerate the uptake of renewable hydrogen solutions in settings where renewable integration, storage and sector coupling are pivotal.
