In a press release, the France Hydrogène association announces that the European Commission unveiled on July 14 a set of proposals aimed at adapting the Union’s policies on climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation so as to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. The main measures concerning hydrogen concern four texts, among around fifteen, and concern transport (CO emissions2 light vehicles, infrastructure for alternative fuels, air and maritime transport), the reform and extension of the carbon market, directives on renewable energies and energy taxation. Extension of the carbon market…

The climate and resilience law was promulgated on August 24, 2021. It marks a major turning point in many areas, including renewable energies. A paradigm shift? Perhaps not completely, but in any case a kick in the industrial anthill. All that remains is to wait for the implementing decrees with their carrots and sticks. Back to some hot news. In the same way that founding laws on press freedom or secularism rooted essential principles in the Republic at the dawn of the 20th century.e century, the law resulting from the work of the Citizens’ Climate Convention will permanently anchor ecology…
The compressed hydrogen supply chain is organized as a rake, while that of liquid energies is organized as a star. This difference partly explains the high cost of transporting hydrogen. The company Airflow explains to us the implications of the complex logistics of the hydrogen molecule. Compressed hydrogen is stored and transported mainly in compressed form in steel cylinders, at 200 bar pressure. More rarely, it is stored/transported in steel bottles reinforced with carbon fiber, or even in “plastic” bottles lined with carbon fiber. In these rare cases, pressures can reach 700 bars. Loading/unloading vehicles Hydrogen transport vehicles have a…
Compressors are key elements in establishing an efficient hydrogen economy. Indeed, powerful compressors, with high energy efficiency and capable of compressing high pressures, are essential at all stages. The Girodin-Sauer company gives us some food for thought. The compression H2Why ? The development of a hydrogen infrastructure requires truly enormous efforts and various technologies optimally coordinated and employed appropriately. The total costs of production, transportation and storage infrastructure must be significantly reduced. This is possible through standardization, modularization and the search for concepts that coordinate systems. The key words here are sector coupling and interperiod energy storage. Massive investments must…
The France Hydrogène association analyzed the climate law from the perspective of the hydrogen sector. She gives us an analysis of its implications, from financing carbon-free hydrogen to mobility and storage. Exhaustive explanations. Climate and resilience law: what’s new for hydrogen? This is the question that France Hydrogène looked into. Parliament has in fact just adopted on July 20 the law “on the fight against climate change and strengthening resilience to its effects” (validated on August 24), after a compromise agreement reached between the two chambers. Taking up part of the 149 proposals from the Citizens’ Climate Convention, the law…
Compression specialist, the Girodin-Sauer company reminds us of the role, but also the economic aspects and technical performances of this essential element in the hydrogen production process. A look back at its range of dry or lubricated piston compressors! French subsidiary of Sauer Group, specialist in gas compression, the Girodin-Sauer company is present on markets of military origin and shippingbut also in industry with two wide ranges of compressors including models adapted to storage throughout the hydrogen sector. Sauer’s original range consists of lubricated piston compressors ranging from 10 to 1000 m3 for a pressure of 10 to 350 bars.…
How can we make the yachting industry as blue-green as the ocean? Like the major competitions in the automotive sector, the super-yacht industry is the ideal terrain for testing and perfecting new sustainable solutions, ultimately applicable to the entire maritime sector with a clientele that benefits from the necessary resources. . The Gaussin company is presenting avenues in this direction in September in Monaco with its Powerpack H2 as a backdrop. Embarked and on the docks! Imagined in 2011 and co-developed with the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA-Liten), the Powerpack is a compact, modular and versatile solution which…
Specializing in aerospace and civil systems, the Nexeya company turned to hydrogen in 2012 with its Industry and Power Solutions division. Transport and storage with the acquisition last April of Mahytec, but also application on isolated or maritime sites, Nexeya is developing numerous projects. A subsidiary of the Hensoldt group, a player in the world of defense (1.3 billion turnover and 1,000 patents!), Nexeya, with 120 million turnover and a workforce of 700 employees, operates in the aeronautical defense markets, but also of energy supply. A vertical hydrogen offer “We made the choice in 2012, for our Industry and power…
The study “Trajectory for a great hydrogen ambition” published by France Hydrogène not only reveals that the objectives set by the National Hydrogen Strategy for 2030 are achievable, but also highlights the opportunity to move towards a more ambitious deployment scenario . In a context of the fight against global warming and post-pandemic economic recovery, France positioned itself in 2020 to meet the challenges with a National Hydrogen Strategy with public support of 7.2 billion euros over 10 years and whose priority areas are the decarbonization of industry combining the emergence of a competitive electrolysis sector, the development of professional…
The deployment of the hydrogen sector involves the recruitment of competent people. Specializing in the search for talent in the energy sector, the borea company explains its approach to finding suitable candidates. For six years, borea has been supporting companies in the energy transition sector to recruit their employees. “Energy at the heart of humans”, this borea motto shows the importance of the human resources skills necessary to successfully complete this transition, in a sector where innovations often coexist with passion to create a new energy model. Hydrogen sector “We support companies, start-ups, VSEs, SMEs, but also large groups in…
