CENER receives €8.4 million for offshore wind, hydrogen and biofuels projects
Navarra has concluded its participation in the Complementary Plan for Energy and Green Hydrogen with three sub-projects developed by the National Renewable Energy Centre (CENER), totaling €8.44 million (EU MRR funds and resources from the Government of Navarra). The closing ceremony took place at the National Hydrogen Centre (Puertollano), where Juan Luis García, Navarra’s Regional Minister for University, Innovation and Digital Transformation, highlighted the program’s “real momentum” and the need to transfer results to industry to strengthen Navarra’s position in the sector. Sub-projects developed by CENER: Across all lines of work, 28 highly specialized professionals have been incorporated (14 in hydrogen and 14 in advanced fuels), with several positions based at CENER’s centers in Sangüesa and Aoiz. From Enercluster, we extend our congratulations to CENER for these advances and for strengthening Navarra’s technological and industrial competitiveness in offshore wind, hydrogen, and biofuels.

Nordex Electrolyzers Drives Green Hydrogen Production in Cáseda as Part of the H2OP Project
Our member company Nordex Electrolyzers has taken part in a major milestone for Navarre’s industrial sector: the launch of green hydrogen production at Viscofan’s facilities in Cáseda, within the H2OP project, a consortium made up of Viscofan, Nordex Electrolyzers, AIN and the startup URAPHEX. This initiative, aligned with the Government of Navarre’s strategy for green hydrogen, marks a decisive step towards industrial decarbonisation and reinforces the region’s position as a benchmark in energy innovation. A technology developed and manufactured entirely in Spain Thanks to the joint work of the four organisations, the 500 kW electrolyzer designed, manufactured and assembled by Nordex Electrolyzers is now fully operational, together with the water treatment and recovery plant and its integration with the industrial boiler. All of this has been completed in a record timeframe of just two months. This installation will enable Viscofan to continuously produce 100 Nm³/h of green hydrogen, reducing CO₂ emissions by 480,000 kilograms per year. A technical and operational breakthrough that strengthens the commitment to sustainable, locally developed energy solutions. A project that supports Navarre’s energy transition The organisations involved highlight the importance of this collaborative effort. Nordex Electrolyzers’ CEO, Luis Solla, emphasises “the rapid integration of the electrolyzer and the excellent coordination among all project partners,” as well as the significance of H2OP as a concrete step toward industrial decarbonisation through green hydrogen. The Government of Navarre has also underlined the strategic relevance of this initiative, which is part of the 2024–2027 R&D funding call of the Department of Industry and Ecological and Digital Business Transition, with €838,428.98 provided by the regional government and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Navarre, a benchmark in industrial innovation and collaboration The commissioning of the Cáseda electrolyzer demonstrates the strength of Navarre’s renewable energy ecosystem and the key role that public-private collaboration plays in accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable industrial model. From ENERCLUSTER, we would like to congratulate Nordex Electrolyzers and all organisations involved in H2OP for this shared achievement, which helps position Navarre at the forefront of green hydrogen deployment in industry.

Ingeniería Iradi SLU
We are an engineering company based in Navarre. We began our journey in October 1999 with a tooling design office. In April 2001, we purchased a 500-square-metre facility in which we invested in machinery that enabled us to machine our own tooling, and we started manufacturing the first parts for EHN’s first turbine prototype. We currently work for Acciona Energía and Nordex as manufacturers, carrying out machining for large production runs and, more recently, shorter series for maintenance, as well as producing tooling designed by Acciona or Nordex. We continue to manufacture tooling for welding positioner tables and assembly-line support tooling, as well as small machines and even robot integrations, starting from our own design through to machining and assembly. We have always carried out this activity at a national level. We export machined components to several European countries, mainly France, Belgium, and Germany. We have also shipped our parts to the United States. Products | Services

Nabrawind wins the national IP Fest award for ‘Scale Up’ in Knowledge Transfer
The award recognizes the Navarre-based technology company’s ability to turn academic research into disruptive and scalable solutions that have enabled the installation of the tallest onshore wind turbines in the world. Nabrawind has been honored with the National Award for ‘Scale Up’ in Knowledge Transfer at the latest edition of the prestigious National Knowledge Transfer Awards (IPfest), held yesterday at the CEN headquarters in Pamplona. This recognition, within the category Where science becomes business, distinguishes companies that have efficiently and broadly scaled their business model thanks to the transfer and application of scientific knowledge originating from research groups and Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs). Nabrawind’s innovations—such as the self-erecting Nabralift wind towers, the BladeRunner crane-free blade replacement system, and the Nabrajoint modular blades—have been acknowledged across the sector for their capacity to generate a strategic impact on the global energy transition. The company is considered a benchmark in how technology can be effectively transformed into real-world industrial solutions. A recognition of ten years of effort In his acceptance speech, Ion Arocena, CTO of Nabrawind, summarized the company’s trajectory: “I would like to thank you for this award on behalf of the entire Nabrawind team. In ten years, we have gone from being six people sketching ideas on blank sheets of paper about the new technologies we envisioned, to installing the tallest onshore wind turbines in the world and replacing damaged blades without cranes, suspended in the air by cables.” “None of this would have been possible without the local network of suppliers, partners, public administrations, and technology centers and universities, especially the Public University of Navarre, where half of our team studied and with whom we collaborate through the Renewable Energies Chair. We support its Master’s Degree in Wind Energy Engineering and are currently supervising two PhD theses.” In the image, Ion Arocena, CTO of Nabrawind, and Arantxa Esparza, Head of ROW Business Development, receive the award at the ceremony held yesterday in Pamplona.
