Injection of hydrogen to blend with pointsof production and consumption. to the gas grid, and in-depth relevant natural gas in existing infrastructure Thatis, to bring supply and demand experience. 2. Development of a dedicated hydrogen closer together at the most efficient network through conversion of gas cost. Using existing gas infrastructure Based on that, we firmly believe Spain will infrastructure or construction of a new to transport and store hydrogen is play a significant role as an international system a cost-effective way to allow quick, hub for hydrogen logistics, due to its 3.
