据能源经济5月24日消息称，西班牙将从欧盟复苏基金中拿出15亿欧元(约合18亿美元)，在未来三年内开发绿色氢生产。
西班牙的目标是利用可再生能源取代化石燃料，成为欧洲领先的氢气生产国，以抑制温室气体排放并创造就业机会。
政府预计，到2030年，这项支出将刺激89亿欧元的投资，主要是私营部门的投资。
一份政府声明称，马德里已经收到了来自能源公司的500多个“绿色氢”项目提案。
创造“绿色”或零排放的氢被视为发展可持续能源和削减碳排放的关键一步。
人们对氢技术产生浓厚兴趣的一个原因是，当氢技术被用于燃料发动机时，唯一的排放是水蒸气。
但它的生产成本很高，所需的电力会产生大量二氧化碳或其他污染物。
绿色氢是通过电解法(通过水的电流)产生的，由风能、太阳能或水力发电提供电力。
专家预测，使用可再生能源的绿色氢很快就会大幅降低成本，在许多领域变得比天然气更便宜。

Spain to invest 1.5 bn euros in 'green hydrogen'
Spain will spend 1.5 billion euros ($1.8 billion) from a European Union recovery fund to develop green hydrogen production over the next three years.
The goal is for Spain to become Europe's leading hydrogen producer using renewable sources instead of fossil fuels to curb greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.
Government expects the outlay will stimulate 8.9 billion euros of mainly private-sector investment to develop the technology by 2030.
Madrid has already received over 500 "green hydrogen" project proposals from energy firms, a government statement said.
Creating "green" or emissions-free hydrogen is seen as a key step towards developing sustainable energy sources and slashing carbon emissions.
One reason for the strong interest in hydrogen technology is when used to fuel motors, the align="justify"> But it is expensive to produce and the electricity needed generates a lot of carbon dioxide emissions or other pollutants.
Green hydrogen is produced via electrolysis -- an electrical current passing through water -- with wind, solar or hydro-electric power providing the electricity.
Europe in particular is anxious to get a handle align="justify"> Experts predict green hydrogen using renewable energy will soon plunge in cost and become cheaper than natural gas in many areas.
