Industry, mobility, stationary, energy networks: ports bring together, on different scales, a wide range of use cases where hydrogen makes sense. Analysis… Many port industrial sectors could thus benefit from the rise of hydrogen to decarbonize: fine and specialty chemicals, glassmaking, metallurgy, cement, etc. The industrial activity of ports and especially of Major Maritime Ports represents an opportunity to initiate large-scale hydrogen hubs. Thus, partner ports could represent 40% of the industrial hydrogen consumption targeted by the sector by 2030 in the “Ambition” scenario and 63% for the “Ambition+” scenario. Decarbonization of industry The environmental challenge is significant. During the…

In the field of alkaline electrolyzers, Gen-Hy, a French start-up offering innovative solutions for the production of green hydrogen, has developed new high-performance catalysts without noble metals with catalytic deposition processes on its Gen-AEM® membranes. This technological advance makes it possible to achieve efficiencies of more than 85% compared to 65% on average currently on the market. Gen-Hy is positioned as the most efficient company in the sector. There are several processes for producing green hydrogen, including water electrolysis, which achieves high purity but at a high cost. Optimizing the hydrogen manufacturing process is a race towards efficiency so that…
The jury of the 4th edition of the Hydrogénies competition, the hydrogen trophies, met on Thursday, April 20, 2023 at the MEDEF International premises where the Hydrogen Task Force is headquartered, in Paris. Objective: to elect the 2023 hydrogen champions! The members of the competition jury, composed of the best hydrogen experts from universities, governments, businesses and communities, spent hours studying dozens of project files. For these professionals in the sector and elected officials, it was a question of selecting the best among the 8 specific prize categories that were rewarded in 2023: – Low-carbon or renewable industry prize -…
The President of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, Mr. Alain Rousset, was keen to personally present their prizes to the winners of the 4th edition of the Hydrogénies competition, the hydrogen trophies.

On March 30, 2023, the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED3) was adopted by European negotiators. France Hydrogène reacted to its implications. QA few days after the stabilisation of the rules for the production of renewable hydrogen by rejecting the objection filed by MEP Markus Pieper, a new crucial step for the development of hydrogen in Europe has just been taken. The adopted directive sets an ambitious target for the use of renewable electrolytic hydrogen in industry: 42% in 2030, 60% in 2035. Furthermore, the target volume of renewable hydrogen can be reduced by 20% if non-fossil hydrogen represents more than…
The California Energy Commission (CEC), which is leading the state’s efforts toward a 100% clean and affordable energy future, has awarded Symbio North America a $9 million grant to support the establishment of a manufacturing facility in Temecula to produce hydrogen fuel cell systems and assemble vehicles. Symbio is a joint venture between Faurecia and Michelin. Its fuel cells dramatically reduce refueling times to 3–5 minutes and improve range without compromising vehicle performance, payload and capability. The 32,000-square-foot Temecula facility will assemble fuel cell vehicles, such as heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles, as well as complete fuel cell systems. The…
