Spain is making significant investments in green hydrogen as part of its transition to clean energy and its goal of reducing carbon emissions. The country is developing large-scale hydrogen projects that use renewable electricity, particularly from solar and wind power, to produce hydrogen without directly emitting carbon dioxide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These investments are expected to support industries such as steel, chemicals, transportation, and shipping while also creating jobs and attracting international investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain\u2019s strong renewable-energy resources and its connections to European energy markets have made it an important potential hub for green hydrogen in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vocabulary Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. What is \u201cgrey hydrogen<\/strong>\u201c? Compare it to \u201cgreen hydrogen<\/strong>\u201d. \u201cGreen hydrogen<\/em><\/strong> is competitive with <\/em>grey hydrogen<\/em><\/strong> today, partly because the price of gas is very high.<\/em>\u201d Use this term in a sentence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What does \u201cvalue chain<\/strong>\u201d mean? \u201cThe goal is therefore to develop a <\/em>value chain<\/em><\/strong> around hydrogen, from the equipment needed to produce it to the infrastructure required to store and transport it.\u201d <\/em>Use the term in a sentence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What does \u201cbrick and mortar<\/strong>\u201d mean here: \u201cThe construction of Onuba shows that some of Spain’s major projects are starting to move from announcements to <\/em>bricks and mortar<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d? Use the term in a sentence.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
