The Chair for Hydrogen Studies, created as part of a collaboration between the Comillas School of Engineering (ICAI) and the Comillas Faculty of Economics and Business (ICADE), and supported by Management Solutions as one of its founding trustee companies, presented its annual report last Wednesday, including an analysis of projects for the production and use of hydrogen in Spain, as well as the latest developments in the relevant energy regulations and policies

In addition to analyzing the latest relevant regulatory and energy policy developments, the report includes an assessment of the status of hydrogen production and use projects in Spain, conducted in collaboration with Management Solutions. The report also explores key open questions regarding the future competitiveness of hydrogen as an energy carrier, along with the state of hydrogen markets and prices, and identifies future challenges related to demand uncertainty, production costs, and investment and financing decisions. Finally, the report summarizes key publications on hydrogen, including the latest Management Solutions white paper “Hydrogen, an essential energy vector in evolving towards a decarbonized economy”.

The event included a guest lecture by Mr. Santiago González Herráiz, Head of the Renewable Hydrogen Department at the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE), attached to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge.

The Chair, promoted by the Comillas School of Engineering (ICAI) and the Comillas Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (ICADE) with the support of several sponsoring companies – Acerinox, BBVA, Carburos Metálicos, Moeve Foundation, Enagás, Redeia, Toyota and Management Solutions, aims to provide spaces for debate and reflection as well as training of specialized professionals, and to create a pioneering knowledge think tank in Spain of recognized experts who are studying the role of hydrogen as a new energy vector in the transition towards a decarbonized economy, and developing proposals for new business models and necessary regulatory adaptations.
