From the gates of Aruba’s refinery, recalling the night that was given in the “Action Ora Cero” to save the refinery, save this economic pillar for Aruba, Minister of Energy, Mr. Glenbert Croes announces to the entire community, our country and our people, that the Government Companies, Utilities, WEB, ELMAR and RDA have signed a MOU (memorandum of understanding) with the multinational Acciona Energia.
This MOU is for the development of a hydrogen refinery. But also along with a hydrogen valley, develop other components of energy investment, hydrochemical plants that will produce different products based on hydrogen that will mean the transformation of Aruba’s refinery.
From a traditional refinery, the refinery will become a new one with a new future. A hydrogen refinery that will produce green hydrogen, a development that is essentially a refinery rescue. For the governor this is what he has been fighting for since the days of the Night of the Long Knives until now. The years passed, but faith remained. Minister Croes pointed out, as Libertador Betico Croes once said, that if there is a 1% chance to open a refinery, we should fight for it.
Aruba Hydrogen Valley is a water refinery for the future, a new vision that guarantees that the refinery will never be closed again. We may have seen traditional refineries come, refineries go, but now comes a whole new refinery, new concept and new vision. A hydrogen refinery that produces hydrogen and all hydrochemical plants that operate on hydrogen.
For Aruba it is a new beginning for the combination of solar energy, with the wind farm, together with Eagle LNG, Acciona Energia and other upcoming developments, will create jobs for many workers. It will create jobs for contractors and merchants, it will create economic benefits for San Nicolas and Aruba as a whole and put Aruba on the international map. Aruba will become a country that takes its quality of life and environment seriously and the quality of future generations seriously. Aruba is on the path to decarbonization, fulfilling the Paris Agreement, but also creating economic prosperity for its people, for our children and for our country. This is a historic and incredible day that for the future will continue to talk about this day, when the companies of
The government of Aruba and the people signed a MOU with the multinational Acciona Energia.
Minister Croes went on to say that we will soon see big, modern, new movements in San Nicolas. Soon we will see our Earth children back working in Aruba Hydrogen Valley. Minister Croes thanked the leadership of all government companies Utilities, WEB, ELMAR and RDA. He also thanked Acciona Energia for the trust and investment in Aruba and the development of the refinery.
A great welcome to the country of Aruba and will be determined that soon the people of Aruba will see development and construction take place.
“With this MOU, ACCIONA Energia and the Government of Aruba embark on a collaboration to establish a renewable hydrogen ecosystem for Aruba that aims not only to transform local industries, but to also extend the reach to the Caribbean region and beyond”.
A new era begins today for Aruba.
