It\u2019s the latest project for the company which will build a plant with an installed electrolysis capacity of 100 MW, capable of producing up to 34 tonnes of decarbonated hydrogen per day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis a concrete expression of the decarbonisation policy France has been pursuing for several years,\u201d said Matthieu Guesn\u00e9, founder and chief executive Officer of Lhyfe <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is towards this greener horizon that this plant is leading us. The region\u2019s needs are present and massive, and we can meet them right now with a clean, mature and appropriate technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forward thinking<\/strong><\/p>\n The plant will be built near the Grand Canal du Havre, one of Europe\u2019s largest industrial port areas.<\/p>\n Mr Guesn\u00e9 said that this support from the French government confirms Lhyfe\u2019s status as a key player in the renewable hydrogen industry and its confidence in the know-how and expertise of its teams.<\/p>\n The site is close to the Yara plant in Le Havre, it\u2019s decarbonisation roadmap includes the use of green hydrogen.<\/p>\n Yara is interested in and supports Lhyfe\u2019s project and said it will explore with Lhyfe all possible collaborations to decarbonise its industrial process.<\/p>\n The Lhyfe production site, to be located on a 2.8-hectare plot of land in Gonfreville-l\u2019Orcher, is scheduled to be operational by 2028.<\/p>\n This project has been selected by the French government as part of the third wave of the IPCEI hydrogen program approved by the European Commission. <\/p>\n Implementation of this project is subject to the granting of operating authorisations, construction permits as well as final financial investment decisions by Lhyfe and its main partners<\/p>\n
