(AOF) – Lhyfe, one of the world pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen, and Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, the fourth largest French seaport, have concluded a partnership agreement to develop the renewable hydrogen sector at sea and thus accelerating the energy transition on the Loire estuary. In the same way as offshore wind turbines, hydrogen, which benefits from a strong dynamic supported by the National Strategy for the Development of Decarbonized Hydrogen in France, will have to take an increasingly important place in the mix. French energy and
The Lhyfe company inaugurated at the end of September, in the basins of Saint-Nazaire, its Sealhyfe project, the world’s first prototype for the production of renewable hydrogen at sea, with a power of 1 MW, and which will be connected to a floating wind turbine. It already operates a site for the production of renewable hydrogen by water electrolysis and is planning similar sites on land throughout Europe.
Lhyfe plans to develop and operate platforms for the production of renewable hydrogen at sea on existing fixed structures, or on laid or floating type foundations, and is accelerating its investments in Research and Development for the development of the production of renewable hydrogen at sea, as close as possible to offshore energy sources. By 2030-2035, offshore could represent an additional installed capacity of around 3 GW for Lhyfe.
