The President of the Government of the Balearic Islands, Margalida Prohens, has attended the start-up of the first national hydrogen pipeline located in Lloseta, which will transport green hydrogen for injection into the natural gas network. This infrastructure, 1st national hydrogen pipeline located in Lloseta, built by Redexis, is necessary to transport the hydrogen produced at the Lloseta plant to the gas network.

The 1st national hydrogen pipeline located in Lloseta will allow the mixture of green hydrogen and natural gas to reach more than 115,000 homes and 2,000 tertiary and industrial consumers in the Balearic Islands, providing them with cleaner and more sustainable energy. ‘The production of hydrogen and the construction of infrastructures for its maximum use, such as this Cas Tresorer hydrogen pipeline, place us at the forefront of innovation and energy transition in the Mediterranean,’ she said.
The president was accompanied by Fidel López Soria, CEO of Redexis; Alejandro Sáenz de San Pedro, councillor for Enterprise, Employment and Energy, and Jaime Martínez, mayor of Palma, as well as representatives of the companies participating in the project and other authorities. Prohens thanked all the parties for their involvement in the path towards sustainability and the transformation of the Balearic Islands.
From our print publications: Revista Lloseta, Sa Revista de Selva, Moscari, Caimari, Biniamar and Binibona, along with the TDB Inca magazine, we have shared these exceptional moments that place us in the field of national and international innovation.

With an investment of more than three million euros, 1st national hydrogen pipeline will lead to a reduction in emissions of between 1,265 and 3,829 tonnes of carbon dioxide (Tn CO2), ‘which will help meet the objectives of decarbonisation and allow a cleaner and more circular economy, being a very important step in the move towards a zero emissions society,’ they explained.
The hydrogen pipeline will transport renewable hydrogen over a length of just over three kilometres between the unloading point where the tubetrailers leaving Lloseta will arrive and the injection point. It plans to inject up to 190 tonnes of hydrogen per year in its initial stage, with the possibility of up to 575 tonnes, which translates into 20 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year.
According to the company, this will positively benefit more than 115,000 households and 2,000 tertiary and industrial consumers, who will be able to enjoy a sustainable and 100% renewable fuel.
The energy company has been the first in Spain to obtain administrative and execution authorisation from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (Miteco) to install the green hydrogen injection system in the position of one of its primary transport pipelines, specifically the one located in San Juan-Cas Tresorer-Son Reus, in Mallorca.
It will thus be the first renewable hydrogen injection facility authorised in the Spanish gas system and will allow this vector to be injected into the natural gas network that supplies the entire island of Majorca, which in turn comprises more than 160 kilometres of gas pipelines and 1,150 kilometres of distribution networks.
