hydrogen for use in public transport and heavy- duty vehicles. • Conversations to develop e-methanol are also ongoing. In summary, two key products will be at the core of the current project: green ammonia and HVO fuels (biodiesel and biojet) for heavy road transport and aviation. These HVO fuels, known as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), are key for the decarbonisation of the aviation sector, where agreements have already been signed with airlines, including Air Nostrum, Binter, Ryanair, TUI, and Vueling. • Algeciras’ CARTEIA Project seeks the construction of a 1 GW capacity electrolysis plant for the decarbonisation of the EP and the production of renewable hydrogen to be used to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, specifically, the maritime transport and fertiliser sectors. An agreement with EDP Renewables was signed in 2022 to collaborate in the development of the electrolysis capacity. The renewable hydrogen produced will feed the new green ammonia plant to be built jointly by Yara Clean Ammonia and Cepsa. This ammonia plant will have an annual production capacity of up to 600,000 tons.

As Cepsa is the first bunkering services provider in Spain, the ambition is to supply maritime shipping using the Strait of Gibraltar (more than 100,000 vessels per year, 10% of the international traffic). While this demand emerges, the agreement with Yara Clean Ammonia will also allow the export of this green ammonia. H2Med The Onuba and CARTEIA Projects will be connected to H2Med, a multinational project supported by Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany. H2Med will interconnect via pipeline hydrogen production projects and demand in the Iberian Peninsula with Central Europe. This infrastructure is expected to be operational by 2030. European Hydrogen Corridor As part of the CARTEIA project, the first European corridor linking North and South Europe between two of its most important European ports, Rotterdam and Algeciras, will be developed. To this end, agreements are in place with ACE Terminal, an initiative from Gasunie, HES International, and Vopak
