On September 13, the Commission released an envelope of 292 million euros to finance 24 projects to establish alternative fuel infrastructure. These projects are distributed along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T). In the field of hydrogen, they should allow the commissioning of 57 additional stations on the Old Continent. Among them, four French projects relating to the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure were selected for a potential deployment of 20 stations:
– SAS Dijon Métropole Smart EnergHy obtains nearly 7 million euros in financing for the deployment of two green hydrogen production and distribution stations;
– Air Liquide receives funding of nearly 10 million euros for the deployment of a network of four hydrogen stations distributed between Vitry-sur-Seine (94), Plan d’Orgon (13), Marseille-Fos (Port) and Lyon-Saint-Exupéry (69);
– Hype Assets benefits from the largest envelope, with funding of 14.69 million euros allocated for the deployment of 10 stations in the Paris region;
– subsidiary of the EDF group, Hynamics receives 10.21 million euros for the deployment of four hydrogen stations: one in Dunkirk, two in the Vallée Sud Grand Paris and one in Cannes.
In total, these four projects represent a global investment of nearly 140 million euros, including 41 million financed by Europe.
