On June 25th, 2025, the CEO of IGNIS P2X, Jose Antonio Membiela, attended the event organized by the Spanish Energy Club (Enerclub) at its Madrid headquarters, focused on two of the most relevant initiatives for the development of renewable hydrogen in Europe: the second auction of the European Hydrogen Bank and the Hydrogen Valleys programme led by IDAE.

The hybrid-format event featured speakers from the Ministry of Industry, IDAE, consulting firms such as Deloitte, and leading companies in the energy sector. Discussions covered the technical, financial and strategic criteria of both initiatives, as well as challenges related to project financing and regulatory compatibility.

Jose Antonio Membiela shared his perspective on how these initiatives can drive the consolidation of strategic industrial clusters, contributing to the development of a competitive green hydrogen ecosystem at a national level. Aligned with our Power-to-X strategy, he highlighted the importance of regulatory and financial frameworks to accelerate transformative decarbonisation projects.

Key technical highlights from the event included:

  • 40% of the projects awarded by IDAE are located in just transition zones.

  • The average grant awarded amounts to €533,000 per MW.

  • 36 proposals were submitted to the second Hydrogen Bank auction.

  • The €400 million aid scheme was recently approved by the Council of Ministers and is expected to be published shortly in the Official State Gazette (BOE).

Deloitte presented a comparative analysis of the calls, key financial insights, associated payment structures, and how mechanisms such as H2Global are shaping the evolution of the European hydrogen market.

IGNIS P2X continues to strengthen its position as a benchmark in Power-to-X solutions, committed to innovation and sustainability in the rollout of renewable hydrogen in Spain and across Europe.
