Green Hysland project reaches a new milestone with the activation of the first green hydrogen fuel cell in a hotel in Mallorca
The Green Hysland project, in which the National Hydrogen Centre (CNH2) participates, has achieved a new milestone in Mallorca with the activation of the first fuel cell powered by green hydrogen in a hotel on the island.
The system has been installed at the Waves Bahía de Palma Hotel, operated by Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, and will use locally produced renewable hydrogen to generate low-emission thermal and electrical energy, contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable energy model within the tourism sector.
This initiative is part of the wider Green Hysland ecosystem, which aims to demonstrate the complete renewable hydrogen value chain in Mallorca, from production and transport to end-use applications across different strategic sectors. The project is coordinated by Enagás and supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, bringing together more than 30 European organisations working to accelerate the deployment of renewable hydrogen solutions in island environments.
The fuel cell installed at the hotel will process at least eight tonnes of green hydrogen per year. This renewable hydrogen is produced using photovoltaic solar energy at the Lloseta plant (Mallorca), developed by ACCIONA and Enagás Renovable. Thanks to this solution, the hotel is expected to cover more than 70% of its thermal demand and over 20% of its electricity consumption using green hydrogen, demonstrating the potential of these technologies to contribute to the decarbonisation of the hotel and tourism sector.
In addition, the project continues to advance in the development of tools aimed at promoting knowledge and the adoption of renewable hydrogen technologies. Among these initiatives is the creation of a digital platform designed to provide information, resources and content related to the hydrogen ecosystem in Mallorca and the different activities developed within the framework of the project.
With this new achievement, Green Hysland further consolidates its position as one of Europe’s leading projects for the integration of renewable hydrogen technologies into real applications and island-based energy systems.
The Green Hysland project is funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, under Grant Agreement No. 101007201.
