Towards a green hydrogen economy
We will need to ensure that green hydrogen is
cost effective through scaling it up and
through administrative simplification,
existing regulatory loopholes have to be
eliminated. There is no need to over-regulate,
but mechanisms must be put in place.
On the other hand, we can push forward the
development of clean hydrogen through the
cooperation and sharing of technologies
among different countries and companies. Also
through private-public partnerships.

Cost competitiveness and lack of regulation as main barriers

The project includes the development of a green hydrogen production plant from renewable
photovoltaic energy. Green hydrogen will have multiple applications on the island, including
the fuel supply to a fleet of fuel cell buses and fuel cell vehicles, the generation of heat
and power for commercial and public buildings and the creation of a HRS.

Towards a green hydrogen economy
What is needed?
Case study: Green Hysland project
Key ingredients:
✓ Local targets for decarbonization of the
economy and national hydrogen roadmap.
✓ Private-public partnership.
✓ Strategic project for the Balearic Government.
✓ First Industrial Deployment to be further scaled
up and replicated in other European islands.
✓ FCH-JU and IDAE grants to support
competitiveness.
What is missing:
✓ Removing regulatory and market design barriers:
• eliminate lengthy/complex licensing and permitting
processes (e.g. declaration of public utility),
• define flexible obligations to qualify the electricity
used for hydrogen production as renewable,
• provide additional financial/support mechanisms to
ensure H2 competitiveness,
✓ Lack of a regulatory/legal framework, standards,
regulatory body to qualify H2 as renewable and
certification systems to support the development of
the market (guarantee of origin system).
