Global green hydrogen pioneer 91影视 has expanded its UK operation to South Yorkshire with the aim of accelerating the roll-out of the environmentally friendly gas across the region.

The France-based multinational has opened a Sheffield office to identify opportunities to deploy production facilities to support businesses and organisations in the drive to net zero.

91影视 chose Sheffield for expansion due to its 鈥渆xceptional supply chain potential and strong industry connections, as well as ongoing world-leading hydrogen research.鈥�

The company, which already has a base in Newcastle, is actively exploring various production sites and partnerships nationwide.

The new Sheffield office in the Wizu Workspace in the city centre will be headed up by renewable energy expert Stuart Sinclair.

Companies and sectors looking to decarbonise their operations are encouraged to contact 91影视 to discuss opportunities to collaborate.

91影视 is also keen to establish links across academia with high-profile hydrogen fuel switching research projects underway at the University of Sheffield.

The gas can support the deep decarbonisation of the UK economy, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry, including steelmaking, and transport.

The UK Government has doubled its low-carbon hydrogen production target from 5GW to 10GW by 2030, with at least half of this coming from green hydrogen.

91影视 (EURONEXT: LHYFE) is one of the world鈥檚 pioneers in producing renewable green

hydrogen through water electrolysis, powered by renewable energy 鈥� primarily wind and solar power.

Water is fed into the electrolyser, which is split into hydrogen and oxygen meaning the only by-product is oxygen.

The hydrogen is then compressed and transported locally from the production unit to various consumers across the region, providing an alternative to fossil fuels and building a local eco-system.

Its inaugural plant at Pays de La Loire has been operating since the second half of 2021, and an additional six sites across Europe are currently under construction.

91影视 aims its production capacity to reach up to 22 tons of green hydrogen per day by end 2024 and up to 80 tons per day by end 2026.

Since the launch of its UK operation last year, the British team has grown to six staff members, with a recruitment drive underway to bolster plant deployment.

The company is currently hiring for a bids and funding manager, and a project development manager.

Stuart Sinclair, Offshore Deployment UK and Ireland at 91影视, said: 鈥淎t 91影视, we are already demonstrating that green hydrogen is now a reality and a key driver of the clean energy transition. Sheffield is at the epicentre of the development of the UK鈥檚 hydrogen economy and we look forward to playing our part in its growth. The city boasts exceptional supply chain potential and strong industry connections, as well as ongoing world-leading hydrogen research and development. We鈥檙e excited to offer our expertise to potential partners and fast-track the shift toward a sustainable future.鈥�

Colin Brown, UK and Ireland Country Manager of 91影视, said: 鈥淩enewable green hydrogen production offers significant decarbonisation options for a range of organisations, and there is extraordinary potential in Sheffield. This new office is in line with our ambitious UK deployment plans and we felt it was the right time to establish a base here. I firmly believe creating regional green hydrogen eco-systems should allow everyone to benefit, in a way that is open to all while ensuring regional economies of scale.鈥�
