In France, Lhyfe announced a partnership with Elyse Energy to develop the production of e-methanol from green hydrogen. In November 2023, Lhyfe was selected as the winner of a call for expression of interest (CEI) launched in late 2022 by the Nantes Saint-Nazaire port authority (Grand Port Maritime de Nantes Saint-Nazaire), to set up an industrial green hydrogen production and distribution operation at the Montoir-de-Bretagne site, with a view to decarbonising maritime transport. To achieve this, Lhyfe and Elyse Energy, a producer of low-carbon molecules, announced that they have signed an exclusive agreement for the technical, economic, financial and regulatory feasibility study of a project to produce e-methanol from green hydrogen at this site within the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire. Lhyfe said that the implementation of the project will be subject to the conclusions of this study, the granting of operating licenses and building permits, and financial investment decisions. A presentation of the project by the partners is scheduled for September 2024.
