ENGIE together with CMA CGM to develop pyrogasification and methanation for sea transport

In France, as part of the “Grand Canal du Havre” call for projects, through the conclusion of state titles, HAROPA PORT has awarded ENGIE 24 ha of land for the development of a benchmark platform for alternative new industrial fuels embodied by the Salamandre and France KerEAUzen projects. This award is an essential step in the development of these projects and the low-carbon transition of the industrial port zone (ZIP).

ENGIE and its partner CMA CGM, a world leader in sea transport and logistics, also confirmed the development of the Salamandre plant in Le Havre, the world’s first renewable gas production unit based on pyrogasification and methanation technologies for sea transport.
To meet the needs of the airline industry, ENGIE is to launch the feasibility study for France KerEAUzen, a synthetic fuel production unit based on a combination of renewable hydrogen and CO2 supplied by Salamandre and other local industries.
