GREENH2ATLANTIC

About the Project

GREENH2ATLANTIC, is an innovative project that aims to develop a first-of-a-kind 100 MW electrolysis plant in Sines, Portugal, supplying green hydrogen to a local refinery and blending in the natural gas grid. GREENH2ATLANTIC will have a relevant contribution to reach the GW scale electrolysis needed to achieve the decarbonization targets, by demonstrating the competitiveness of green hydrogen production while repurposing existing infrastructures of a decommissioned coal fired power plant, also contributing to the just transition of a region.

Power and Energy Systems

The Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES) is a global reference in the large-scale integration of renewable-based electricity generation into the power system.We research and develop advanced solutions that enable the monitoring, control, optimisation, and forecasting of electricity production and consumption, as well as multi-energy systems. Our work supports the decarbonisation of the energy system, the electrification of society, and the large-scale integration of renewables, making power grids more flexible, intelligent, and resilient.Our research results include models, methodologies, hardware, and software (much of it open source) designed for various energy sector stakeholders, including citizens, communities, service providers, system operators, regulators, policy-makers, and governmental bodies.We operate a Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles Laboratory – the X-Energy Lab (link) – where we validate technological advancements in real-world conditions, ensuring that our solutions have a tangible impact on the energy sector.Thanks to our expertise, we hold a prominent role in both national and international projects supporting the energy transition, while also providing direct services to key players in the electricity sector.
