The Government Council has approved the temporary Green Hysland program of the Balearic Energy Institute (IBE) for non-permanent needs, with a total budget of 147,000 euros, to develop the green hydrogen roadmap.

This program is aimed at promoting the use of green hydrogen as a source of renewable energy in the Balearic Islands.

The program will be implemented by the Balearic Energy Institute (IBE), which will be responsible for the development of the roadmap. The program’s budget of 147,000 euros will be used to finance research, development, and demonstration activities related to green hydrogen production and use.

The Green Hysland program is part of a broader strategy by the Balearic government to promote sustainable energy use and reduce carbon emissions. The development of a green hydrogen roadmap is a crucial step towards achieving these goals, as it will provide a clear plan for the development of green hydrogen production and use in the region.

Green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, to electrolyze water and create hydrogen. This process is emissions-free and produces only water vapor as a byproduct, making green hydrogen a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

The development of a green hydrogen roadmap in the Balearic Islands could have a significant impact on the region’s energy sector. It could lead to the creation of new jobs in the renewable energy industry and reduce the islands’ dependence on fossil fuels, which currently account for most of the region’s energy consumption.

However, there are also potential challenges associated with the development of a green hydrogen industry. The high cost of green hydrogen production, lack of infrastructure, and regulatory barriers are just a few of the challenges that must be addressed to make green hydrogen a viable alternative to traditional energy sources.

In conclusion, the approval of the temporary Green Hysland program by the Balearic Energy Institute is a positive step towards the development of a green hydrogen industry in the region. However, further investment, research, and development are needed to overcome the challenges associated with the production and use of green hydrogen.
