- Enagás, designated as the Provisional Manager of the Hydrogen Transport Network (HTNO) by Royal Decree-Law 8/2023, will develop Spain’s hydrogen network, which will connect Magnon’s and ErasmoPower2X’s production and demand projects.
- Magnon will supply biogenic CO₂ for the synthesis of 200,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year at its Puertollano (Ciudad Real) site, integrating the project with its current renewable energy production plant powered by biomass.
- ErasmoP2X and Power2X will produce green hydrogen at their facilities in Saceruela (Ciudad Real) and will participate in the execution of the e-methanol production project.
Magnon, a leader in renewable energy production from forest and agricultural biomass; ErasmoPower2X, a developer of large-scale green hydrogen projects; and Power2X, a benchmark company in the production of green molecules, are jointly promoting a pioneering project for the production of e-methanol at Magnon’s renewable energy complex in Puertollano (Ciudad Real).
This pioneering e-methanol production project — which includes renewable hydrogen in its composition — will be connected to the Spanish Hydrogen Backbone Network being developed by Enagás. The company, designated as Provisional Manager of the Hydrogen Transport Network (HTNO) by Royal Decree-Law 8/2023, will link production points with demand centers.
As part of the collaboration, Magnon will lead the biogenic carbon capture and integration of the e-methanol project at its Puertollano biomass plant; Power2X and ErasmoPower2X will supply green hydrogen produced through their photovoltaic development (1 GW) and hydrogen production facilities in Saceruela.
The project will strengthen Spain’s position as a European hub for green molecules, generate new economic opportunities and quality jobs in Castilla-La Mancha, and attract investment in energy innovation and in the hydrogen and renewable methanol value chains. Renewable methanol is a key component in petrochemical products and can evolve toward the generation of renewable fuels (eSAF), plastic polymerization, and even be used as a base for the food and biochemical industries.
A Decarbonization lever
The initiative will boost a sustainable value chain by combining sustainable biomass, carbon capture, and renewable hydrogen, enabling competitive production and driving growth and quality employment in the region.
In this context, renewable methanol will contribute to energy independence and become a lever for decarbonization, innovation, and the transition toward a fairer and more secure energy model.
