It is expected that in June 2023 the project will be delivered and the works that will be undertaken on the 'El Cuartillo' farm will begin, which consist of the urbanization of four hectares of the plot and the construction of a research building of 7,100 square meters, a pilot plant of 4,000 square meters and an incubator of technological companies of 1,100 square meters.

This centre will contribute to solving technological and scientific challenges in green energy management through the deployment of lithium-ion-based energy storage technologies and industrial hydrogen applications and large-scale production, storage and transport in the hydrogen industry.
