IV RENMAD HIDROGENO AWARDS 2026

Where we celebrate extraordinary achievements in the renewable hydrogen sector in Spain

We are pleased to announce the the 4th Edition of the RENMAD HIDROGENO 2026 Awards. These popular awards are an initiative dedicated to recognising and celebrating the exceptional achievements of leading players in the renewable hydrogen sector.

This recognition extends to companies, authorities and individuals whose work has significantly driven the sector’s progress, promoting a just transition and generating a positive impact at regional and national levels.

It is very important that you review the entry guidelines so that you understand how these awards work and obtain detailed information on how to get involved in this exciting opportunity for recognition.

 

We encourage you to support your organisation or any other organisation you believe deserves an award in the categories you deem appropriate; however, as specified in the entry guidelines, each company or organisation may only receive one award.

Here are the different categories included in the fourth edition:

THE “WOMAN IN RENEWABLE H2” AWARD 2026
