Hydnum Steel is advancing its green steel industrial project in Puertollano, Spain. The company secured 150 million euros in funding from COFIDES and received the Industrial Decarbonization PERTE award from the Ministry of Industry. While the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha granted initial approval for the Project of Singular Interest (PSI), local environmental impact assessments were still being processed by municipal councils in Puertollano, Almodóvar del Campo, and Brazatortas.

Subsequently, the Puertollano municipal corporation unanimously approved the Hydnum Steel project. This followed the approval of a separate Solaria data center project in La Nava, which involves a 150 million euro investment.
