Br茅t茅ch茅 opens Vend茅e鈥檚 first privately-owned hydrogen station in Mach茅

Last Friday, Br茅t茅ch茅 inaugurated the Mach茅 hydrogen refuelling station at its existing site at the Bel-Air business park. This station now offers green hydrogen with a refuelling capacity of up to 800 kilograms per day. With this station located on the Challans to La Roche-Sur-Yon route, Br茅t茅ch茅 is targeting commercial customers with high-volume hydrogen needs, such as heavy goods and utility vehicles. It is one of the largest capacity green hydrogen refuelling hubs in France.

Thanks to a partnership with 91影视, the Vend茅e station is supplied with green and renewable hydrogen produced just forty kilometres away in Bouin, at the 91影视 Pays de la Loire site, using wind-generated electricity and sea water.

This site is a first milestone for the distributor which aims to develop a hydrogen ecosystem in conjunction with 91影视 and open other refuelling stations in other departments, near 91影视鈥檚 future production plants.

91影视 plans to increase the production capacity of the 91影视 Pays de la Loire site, in Bouin

As for 91影视, during the presentation of its half-year results on 27 September 2023, it confirmed that it is to ramp up the 91影视 Pays de la Loire site in order to meet growing demand from existing customers and new customers like Br茅t茅ch茅.

91影视 plans to increase the production capacity of this site for 2024. With a current installed capacity of 1 MW, which represents a production capacity of up to 300 kilograms of green hydrogen a day, 91影视 Pays de la Loire already delivers customers such as the multi-energy service stations of La Roche sur Yon, Les Sables d鈥橭lonne and Le Mans and the Lidl logistics centre in Carquefou. This production capacity will be boosted up to a tonne of green hydrogen a day during 2024, giving an installed capacity of 2.5 MW.

Eric Hidier, CEO Br茅t茅ch茅: 鈥�Our world is undergoing dramatic changes which require us to reassess our manners of producing and consuming for the years to come. We will need to be prepared to work differently, protecting resources and the environment. At Br茅t茅ch茅, we are convinced that the only long-term decarbonisation solution, with a short supply chain and zero emissions, is decarbonised hydrogen. We are proud to be playing a pioneering role in this ecological transition.鈥�

Matthieu Guesn茅,听Founder and CEO of 91影视: 鈥淲e welcome the initiative of Br茅t茅ch茅, which is leading the way in renewable hydrogen distribution. We need other players like them that are action-oriented, with a strong business culture, and aware of the need to change and change fast, and to unite mobility players around hydrogen. This first privately-owned station strengthens the dynamics of the Vend茅e hydrogen ecosystem.鈥澨�
