H‑NAT 2021 is a natural hydrogen event that will take place online on June 2 and 3. It is essential for all energy players who wish to discover or deepen their knowledge of this new source of renewable, carbon-free and non-intermittent energy, which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the market. Natural hydrogen is an alternative to hydrocarbons and is a growing industry. Today, hydrogen is presented as the best alternative to hydrocarbons in many uses, but it is mainly made from hydrocarbons and C02 emissions. Although it can still be made using electrolysis, this process is more expensive.…

After years of sometimes working in the shadows, then the beginnings of a movement started three or four years ago and two years 2018 and 2019 full of promises and projects, the year 2020 marks a transition to hydrogen for higher speed: that of the desire to set up a real carbon-free hydrogen sector, from production to use. The prominent role given to hydrogen in the recovery plan has in fact marked, in the midst of the COVID crisis, the strong direction of a low-carbon energy transition: one of the key issues in the anticipation of the post-oil era. In…
A territorial hydrogen project can be adopted over the duration of an electoral mandate or an industrial investment plan. Because it covers both production and uses, sometimes between competitors, communities naturally find their place in supporting private actors. Mob’Hy is heir to the culture of co-development of renewable energy projects with elected officials and local residents. The latter are still shareholders of Vent d’Est, the parent company of Mob’Hy. Mob’Hy brings the know-how of its design office which develops green hydrogen solutions from design to construction, including the evaluation of the competitive position, the negotiation of order books and the…
The company 2G Énergie offers cogeneration engines running on hydrogen which enable decentralized and carbon-free electricity production. A solution to optimize the management of intermittent renewable energy production. The growing development of renewable energies such as photovoltaics and wind turbines requires reviewing our energy management. Indeed, the volatility of these new energies in combination with the planned reduction of conventional power plants poses problems in terms of overloading or underloading the electrical network depending on the level of sunshine or the intensity of the wind. To deal with this increasingly important phenomenon, we need technologies that can compensate for network…
The Air Flow company specializes in gas storage and transport logistics. For its director, Pierre Fiat, the success of hydrogen projects requires upstream consideration of logistics, since the transport of hydrogen by road can generate significant costs. Elements for reflection. Hydrogen range of action “In terms of logistics, each gas has its own range of action,” indicates Pierre Fiat. The radius of action is the economically competitive distance between the point of production and the point of consumption. The more difficult a gas is to produce, the more expensive it is to manufacture, the greater its range of action. This…
On the way to a European hydrogen backbone, GRTgaz, Teréga and nine other gas operators came together to present their plan as part of the European strategy. Objective: transport hydrogen across Europe by connecting production areas and relying on existing networks. GRTgaz, Teréga and nine other gas infrastructure managers, operating in nine Member States, offer their vision of the development of this European “hydrogen backbone”. The work carried out by GRTgaz with Teréga, Enagás, Energinet, Fluxys Belgium, Gasunie, NET4GAS, OGE, Ontras, Snam, Swedegas, supported by Guidehouse, shows that their existing gas networks can be adapted to transport hydrogen at an…
Hydrogen is undoubtedly a solution to our energy problems of tomorrow: it is abundant, its combustion does not pollute, and we have mastered the production and transport techniques. But the profitability of transporting hydrogen is much lower than that of gasoline and natural gas, which slows down its development. An analysis and reflection provided by the company Air Flow. Even today, the hydrogen economy is almost exclusively chemical: it is produced from carbon sources and transported short distances to chemical industrial sites. Hydrogen is, for example, used in oil refineries: injected into the production process of unleaded gasoline, it helps…
Creating a complete territorial energy system for controlled, low-carbon user costs is the ambition of the company H2X Ecosystems, already implemented in Redon. A deployment that involves completely rethinking our energy-economic model. Framework and perspectives H2X Ecosystems offers territories the opportunity to create a complete ecosystem combining the deployment of renewable energies, reuse of effluents for the production of renewable hydrogen, and its uses, including low-carbon mobility. The territorial valorization of gaseous co-products of electrolysis is also considered for each ecosystem. For its president, Stéphane Paul, it is important to have control over the entire system. “We offer PEM electrolysers…
France Hydrogène, the Dunkirk Grand Littoral Urban Community and the Hauts-de-France Region, with the support of Euraenergy and Pôlenergie, are organizing the 8th edition of Hydrogen Days in the Territories from September 8 to 10, 2021 at the Kursaal in Dunkirk. Dunkirk’s application was selected by France Hydrogène to host the unmissable event which brings together each year stakeholders in the hydrogen sector and community representatives. After editions in Nantes, Toulouse and Marseille, more than 550 participants are expected in Hauts-de-France for these days of meetings and discussions around the deployment of hydrogen in France. Territories already engaged in large-scale…
After a digital edition, Hydrogen Business for Climate-CONNECT, the Vehicle of the Future cluster, with the support of the State, the Region, Belfort and Grand Belfort and Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération, announces the first face-to-face edition of the Hydrogen Business for Climate forum, September 29 and 30, 2021, at the Atria in Belfort. This transnational event aims to make the hydrogen energy transition effective in France and Europe. Objectives: to shed light on the hydrogen markets, foster cooperation, launch business projects and accelerate the implementation of concrete solutions in order to contribute to the realization of the Europe of hydrogen.…
