CelZa is part of the H2med project.

CelZa is a strategic 270km pipeline project dedicated to transporting green hydrogen between Portugal and Spain, connecting Celorico da Beira to Zamora respectively. This 100% hydrogen transmission infrastructure will link the future national hydrogen backbones of both countries, supporting the integration of the Iberian network into the wider European system. Each of the two involved transmission system operators, REN and Enagás, will be responsible for developing the interconnection section within their respective territories—approximately 184 km in Portugal and 86 km in Spain.

CelZa Project Objectives

CelZa will play a key role in exporting renewable hydrogen produced in Portugal from most notably solar and wind sources, to the European market. Concretely, CelZa’s transmission capacity will be of 0.75 million tonnes of hydrogen per year (MTPA).
