L“Green” hydrogen will play a fundamental role in the future in energy production and the decarbonization of industry and heavy goods vehicles. To guarantee the safety of automated processes, components and sensors certified for installation in Atex zones and equipped with various functions are required. Products developed for years by Pepperl+Fuchs. Decarbonization brings many changes, including to the way we produce, store, distribute and consume energy. These new technologies require the best security. Pepperl+Fuchs has more than 70 years of experience in the fields of explosion protection and industrial sensor technology, key elements of the hydrogen chain. Sensors across the…

the Monaco Prize for innovation in the field of renewable hydrogen and transport, presented by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II during the last day of the Monaco Hydrogen Forum, was attributed to Genevos. The 2022 edition of the Monaco Hydrogen Forum, an event exclusively intended to bring together key players in the sector in order to accelerate innovation in the hydrogen value chain, aimed to highlight innovative solutions in the field of mobility, and more particularly solutions that can have a positive impact on the maritime mobility value chain. Candidates from more than fifteen countries spanning three continents competed…
A subsidiary of the Chauvin Arnoux group specializing in measurement, Pyrocontrole has been studying, designing and manufacturing temperature sensors since 1945. Their reliability is a key element in the deployment of the entire hydrogen sector. Ilocated in the Lyon region, in Meyzieu, Pyrocontrole offers temperature sensors for the chemical, food, oil and nuclear industries, but also railway, automobile and aeronautics, and for more standard technical sectors. Corrosive environment, explosive atmosphere: backed by a 40-year operating guarantee for nuclear power plants, “the sensors in our standard range or those in our products specially developed to meet the needs of our customers…
After the Hulot plan of 2018 and then the national strategic plan for decarbonized hydrogen of 2020, the hydrogen sector is developing with the arrival of new players. Bureau Veritas puts all its knowledge and skills at the service of new productions and innovative uses of hydrogen. A comprehensive approach to guarantee the safety of all these projects launched throughout the territory. BUreau Veritas supports the developmentt of the hydrogen sector for a long time, working alongside manufacturers throughout France. The acceleration of the growth of this sector and its new uses (stations, mobility, production by electrolysis with stakeholders, communities…
The company Athéna Recherche et Innovation has developed a bacteriological process to produce hydrogen from wastewater and agri-food waste. Biology is being put to the service of a circular economy with the production of energy, the capture of CO2but also by-products that can be used as fertilizer for agriculture. Athéna was created in 2017 with the aim of producing energy from waste. “We took over the work carried out in 1940 by a researcher from the Pasteur Institute who had found a bacterium capable of transforming biomass into oil,” says its president, Ludovic Briand, an energy engineer and co-founder of…
Hydrogen+. Can you introduce MovIAtech to us in a few words? Phillip Van der Merwe. MovIAtech is a spin-off of LOJELIS, a French company active for 15 years in digital consulting and development, in Europe and the United States. LOJELIS President Sylvain Jourdy had the idea of creating MovIAtech because he wanted the company to actively engage in the decarbonization of means of transport. MovIAtech’s mission is therefore to increase sustainable mobility, through the design and development of innovative technological solutions. We process all types of energy, while placing particular emphasis on hydrogen, in which we believe a lot. What…
Hydrogen+. What expertise and innovations will you deploy for zero-emission transport, connected and autonomous vehicles? Airbus Protect. We work on technologies such as electrification, hydrogen systems and artificial intelligence, as well as on the air and ground vehicle concepts that implement them. Our role is to develop and deploy the means to ensure a safe and secure framework necessary for the introduction of these new means of mobility, without imposing excessive constraints that would hamper innovation. In addition to securing vehicles and distribution facilities, can you tell us about the cybersecurity issues in this deployment? With the arrival of automation…
Following the completion of bibliographic research work and the encouraging results of preliminary field measurements, 45–8 ENERGY has detected significant prospective interest in helium, in association with non-combustible gases (nitrogen and carbon dioxide) in the Jura Foothills area. In order to confirm the helium exploratory potential of the area, 45–8 ENERGY filed in April 2021 with the Ministry of Ecological Transition the application for an Exclusive Research Permit (PER) for helium and related resources, known as “Avant-Monts Franc-Comtois”. This PER, located in the west of the Doubs department and with an area of 306 km², has just been granted by…
