Spain leads EU in green hydrogen production.

Spain aims to become the European leader in green hydrogen produced exclusively from renewable energy, with the ambition to export the gas to the rest of the continent. The country is betting that it can rapidly build a new supply chain for sectors of the economy that require hydrogen for industrial processes, and which have been harder to wean off fossil fuels. However, critics have warned there isn’t enough renewable energy capacity to produce green hydrogen that can replace natural gas and coal in the making of petrochemicals, steel and agricultural products.
