Green Hysland is focused on establishing and operating a Hydrogen Valley on the island of Mallorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands. What sets the project apart is its integrated, cross-sectoral approach - addressing not just a single application, but combining mobility, power generation, heating, and storage. This creates a comprehensive green hydrogen-based economic ecosystem.
Since its launch in January 2021, Green Hysland has achieved significant milestones, including the construction and commissioning of two photovoltaic plants and a hydrogen production facility powered by them. In June 2024, the project received authorization for a hydrogen pipeline and injection point, leading to the first injection of hydrogen into the gas grid in September 2024.
On the mobility front, five hydrogen buses have been deployed and are now ready to operate within Palma de Mallorca’s municipal public transport system. Additional hydrogen users include a hotel and the Port of Palma, where hydrogen fuel cells are used to generate both electricity and heat.
While many of the technical goals have been met, particularly those demonstrating the project’s feasibility, challenges remain in expanding and securing more hydrogen consumers (off takers) to fully meet the project's objectives.
An important achievement is the successful upgrade of the Hydrogen Territory Platform - a digital tool first developed under the previous Clean Hydrogen JU-funded BIG-HIT project. The new version is now ready and, combined with Green Hysland’s technical expertise, will support the implementation of the Green Hysland Technical Support Programme. This initiative aims to assist other islands in developing their own green hydrogen projects. Applications for this free technical assistance closed on May 16, 2025, and the selected islands will participate in the program between September 2025 and February 2026.
