Atlantic France is seeing a rise in the use of hydrogen stations, which is a notable development in the renewable energy sector. Companies such as Lhyfe are at the forefront of this movement, which could potentially influence the transport industry and contribute to sustainability efforts.
The renewable hydrogen sector in Atlantic France is experiencing significant growth as hydrogen stations are being established in the region. This development is part of a larger initiative aimed at creating a sustainable energy ecosystem that caters to a variety of stakeholders, from private individuals to businesses.
Lhyfe, a company active in this sector, has played a significant role in the development of the hydrogen industry in the region. Their collaboration with SYDEV (Syndicat Départemental d’Energie et d’Equipement de la Vendée) has been instrumental in the establishment of hydrogen stations that deliver the green fuel produced in Bouin.
New hydrogen stations in Vendée and Le Mans: a noteworthy development
The very first hydrogen station was opened in La-Roche-sur-Yon at the end of 2021. Last May, the second Vendée hydrogen station opened in Les Sables-d’Olonne. And several other projects are also underway, in various places such as Challans, where a BioNGV station opened in March 2022, in Les Herbiers, and in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.
In Le Mans, a new hydrogen station opened in April. This station, installed by Hype in partnership with Le Mans Métropole, caters to both cars and heavy-duty vehicles. Hype, a company involved in zero-emission mobility, has developed its own fleet of hydrogen taxis and is expanding its operations beyond the region of Paris. By 2025, the company plans to open 44 hydrogen stations in France and Europe, including 3 in Le Mans.
The hydrogen used at these stations is supplied by Lhyfe and produced locally. This local production is achieved through a combination of biogas and electrolysis and reduces the region’s reliance on fossil fuels.
The future of hydrogen stations in Atlantic France
What type of future can we hope for in terms of hydrogen stations in France? According to Hyvolution 2023, a leading event in Europe, the goal is to deploy 1,000 in France by the end of the decade.
So these developments represent the initial stages of a larger plan to establish a network of hydrogen stations across Atlantic France. With the support of local authorities and companies like Lhyfe, the region is advancing in the renewable energy sector and in sustainable mobility.
If you are looking for business opportunities that use hydrogen, you can rest assured that Atlantic France will be the perfect market for your products.
