“The strategy we are presenting today is a long-term plan that reflects the historic opportunity that Spain and its energy companies have to become key players in promoting and producing clean energy.”

Cepsa currently aims to lead green hydrogen production in Spain and Portugal by 2030 with a capacity equivalent to 2GW.

The company claims to be one of Spain’s main hydrogen producers.

With its Positive Motion strategy, Cepsa intends to establish itself as a ‘key player’ in the import and export of hydrogen between Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

The strategy also includes plans to reduce the company’s Scope I and II carbon emissions by 55% from their 2019 levels by 2030, subsequently becoming carbon-neutral by 2050.

In addition, Cepsa aims to decrease its Scope III emissions by 15%-20% by 2030.
