In France, Lhyfe said it has been selected by Epinal Urban Community following the consultation led by the local development association Vosj’Innove, for the creation of a green hydrogen fuel chain due in late 2027.
Lhyfe aims to build a site producing green and renewable hydrogen for otherwise-difficult-to-decarbonize uses in the transport sector (e.g. trucks, waste collection vehicles, buses, etc.), and industry (e.g. glassmaking, steelmaking, metals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food manufacturing, etc.).
Lhyfe said it produces its green and renewable hydrogen through the electrolysis of water, at production units powered by renewable energy. The company’s first site (Lhyfe Pays de la Loire) has already been in operation since the second half of 2021, and five other sites – in France, Germany and Sweden – are currently under construction.
On the territory of Epinal Urban Community, Lhyfe aims to build and run a large-scale hydrogen production site, with installed capacity of several megawatts. It will supply hydrogen for local uses in the Epinal area, as well as for transregional and cross-border uses.
