Certification and innovation: Cetil expertise in hydrogen distribution Hydrogen mobility: opportunities and challenges The hydrogen mobility sector is strategic in the context of decaruration, but remains demanding: Advanced technologies: Strong pressure (up to 1,000 bars) and the diffusion of hydrogen requires great precision and rigorous certifications in metrology and safety; High costs: the implementation of infrastructure, combined with a still limited market, requires substantial subsidies to make investments profitable. Cetil is distinguished by its flexibility and its commitment to provide solutions adapted to the specific needs of the first hydrogen infrastructure. Thus, it offers a solution that overcomes these obstacles.…

Raphaël Goerens, director of the Hyvolution Paris show, reveals the ambitions and challenges of this key edition. While hydrogen decarbon is entering an industrial maturity phase, the show stands out as a strategic meeting to build the future of this essential sector for the global energy transition. What are the main objectives and challenges of this new Hyvolution edition? Hyvolution Paris is a world leader in the actors of decarbon hydrogen. This sector is part of 2025 in an industrial maturation phase, reflecting developments in the sector. After a period of strong growth, the market is consolidated throughout the value…
18e Edition of the Energaïa Forum, held on December 11 and 12, 2024 at the Montpellier exhibition center, marked a decisive turning point for renewable energies (ENR). By bringing together 22,000 participants and 450 exhibitors, the event confirmed its role as a catalyst in the energy transition, with a focus marked on the development of green hydrogen. Record attendance, reflection of Un remarkable impulse With an increase in attendance of 32 % compared to 2023, Energaïa 2024 has established itself as an unmissable event for ENR professionals. Nearly 450 exhibitors, including a hundred international participants, were present to present innovative…
The need to reduce emissions and comply with stricter public regulations is today a major concern, which naturally explains why more and more equipment manufacturers (OEM) seriously look at the options offered by hydrogen. Although a large part of the market is still focusing on the potential of vehicles powered by battery, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles offer a viable supplement which, at least for the moment, is more suitable to offer longer autonomies and faster supplies. However, hydrogen presents its share of challenges, and manufacturers must carefully reflect on the design modifications necessary to make to their on -board fuel…
A booming sector The recent study conducted by BDO and France Hydrogen highlights the central role of hydrogen in the current French economy and its medium -term potential. In 2023, this sector generated almost a billion euros of added value and supported more than 16,400 jobs, including 6,300 direct jobs. These figures reveal an expanding sector, with significant repercussions on the territories thanks to diversified projects in the production, transport and uses of hydrogen. Each direct job in the sector perpetuates two others indirectly, via local suppliers and household expenditure. This dynamism illustrates an already structured and promising ecosystem to…
A new concept of electric bicycle (VAE) baptized “Alter Bike Gitane” was presented at the XXth congress of the club of cycle cities and territories which took place in Nice from May 29 to 31, 2013. Fruit of a collaboration of three French companies (Cycleurope, Pragma Industries and Ventec), this new hydrogen bike turns out to be light, does not require any particular load platform and allows real flexibility of use. Very environmentally friendly, it uses hydrogen in the form of a fuel cell to create electricity by rejecting water. Before offering it to the general public, Cycleurope plans to…
Less publicized than electrical mobility solutions with batteries, hydrogen is however very present in transport, with ever more numerous and concrete uses. However, it seems to be less in individual solutions than in heavy solutions: trucks, bus, tram or ships. The battle between electric cars fueled by batteries or by hydrogen fuel cells undeniably runs in favor of the first. The autonomy of electric vehicles with battery improves year after year, with, for small models, the CAP of 300 to 400 km real crossed this summer. The electrical infrastructure is already present in all households and requires only one adapter.…
The Energy Observer is the first autonomous energy ship, powered by hydrogen and renewable energies, a project designed and developed by Victorian Erussard, a 38 -year -old browser. The 30.5 m long catamaran for 12.80 m wide is the first boat in the world capable of producing its own hydrogen by electrolysis from sea water, thanks to the coupling of renewable energies. According to Victorien Erussard, who has been working on this project since 2013, “this boat is a Smart Greed (smart electricity network)”. The boat has varied renewable energy sources: 130 m² of photovoltaic panels, two vertical axis wind…
The French start-up Sylfen has developed an original energy storage device using hydrogen. France is positioned today as a leader in technology research that uses hydrogen, a vector of energy and heat, to respond to the intermittent of renewable energy sources. Based on the principle that a renewable energy source producing electricity alternately too much or too little compared to consumption, the Sylfen start-up has imagined a means of storing the product surplus, in the form of hydrogen, so that it is used when demand is high. This device, called Smart Energy HUB, uses the reversibility of the energy processor,…
Following a memorandum of understanding signed between the authorities of the German region of Basse-Saxe and Alstom, the latter will provide 14 fuel cell trains operating to hydrogen. It is a world first. The appearance of these trains, called “Coradia Ilint” and manufactured in the Alstom factory in Salzgitter, in Basse-Saxe, on the German Ferré network is expected for 2021, after a series of tests carried out from spring 2018. They will transport 300 people at a maximum speed of 140 km/h and will have a range of 1,000 km. But, above all, they will only reject water vapor to…
