The Portuguese regional commission CCDR of Alentejo officially granted digital installation titles to two green hydrogen and ammonia projects in Sines, designated as National Priority Projects (PINs). The MadoquaPower2X (MP2X) project, valued at approximately 2.8 billion euros, plans to install a 500 MW green hydrogen production unit, while the MADOQUA NH3 project, valued at 526 million euros, will produce 438,000 tons annually of renewable ammonia. These installations are aligned with Portugal's 2030 Energy and Climate Plan and the European Green Hydrogen Strategy, marking a significant administrative step toward the region's energy transition.
