Located in the industrial zone of Port-Jérôme in Normandy, France, the large-scale electrolyser project of H2V Normandy aims to supply renewable and low-carbon hydrogen for industrial applications, as well as future heavy mobility applications. The project is part of an ambitious programme to develop new energies to decarbonate industrial activities (refining and chemical) on the Seine Valley axis in Normandy, one of Air Liquide's historical industrial basins in France. This project will enable to avoid the emission of 250 000 tpy of CO2.
Air Liquide will bring its expertise of more than 50 years in the sector to this project which is part of an investment dynamic that supports the development of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production in the world. In France, the Group has already deployed a unique solution for CO2 capture called CryocapTM on its Port-Jérôme hydrogen production facility.
François Jackow, Executive Vice President and a member of the Air Liquide Group’s Executive Committee said: “As France has resolutely committed to energy transition with an ambitious hydrogen plan, Air Liquide, a major player in the industry, is investing locally to develop the activity. With this strategic project aimed at producing hydrogen by electrolysis, the Group is strengthening its presence in the Normandy industrial basin. This investment is in line with Air Liquide’s commitment to supply hydrogen from renewable or low-carbon sources for mobility and to support the decarbonisation of the industry and thus to promote the emergence of hydrogen as a key element in the energy transition.”
