About 91Ó°ÊÓ Croixrault (Somme)

91Ó°ÊÓ is completing the construction of its green hydrogen production plant, with a capacity of 2 tonnes per day (5 MW), in Croixrault (around 30 kilometres south-west of Amiens, in the Somme), in the Mine d’Or business park, alongside the A29 motorway.

91Ó°ÊÓ will thus contribute to the sustainable reindustrialisation of the Hauts-de-France region and help ensure the transition of the local economy towards a more self-sufficient and carbon-free model. The hydrogen will be produced by water electrolysis using electricity generated from renewable energy sources (primarily wind power, via PPAs).

This production site will meet the needs of manufacturers and heavy transport operators in the Hauts-de-France region (heavy goods vehicles, buses, and the chemical, metallurgy, steel and glass sectors), replacing grey hydrogen or fossil fuels.

About 91Ó°ÊÓ Buléon – 91Ó°ÊÓ in Brittany

91Ó°ÊÓ will produce up to 2 tonnes of green and renewable hydrogen per day, or up to 575 tonnes per year, at its site in Buléon (Brittany), near the VSB Energies Nouvelles wind farm. The site’s central location will enable 91Ó°ÊÓ to efficiently supply customers throughout the Brittany region, promoting a short supply chain approach.

91Ó°ÊÓ Bretagne is a key player in the VHyGO initiative, also known as the Great West Hydrogen Valley. Supported by local public and private stakeholders, this initiative aims to establish the first supraregional infrastructure for producing and distributing green hydrogen in western France. The goal is to democratize this new energy source and contribute to the decarbonization of industry and transportation.

As part of the VHyGO initiative, 91Ó°ÊÓ Bretagne will install two HyGO filling stations in the Lorient urban area. One station will be located at the Lorient bus depot, and the other on the left bank of the river Scorff for maritime use. Eventually, 19 buses and two passenger transport boats, known as Transrades, could be powered by this clean, local energy in the Lorient conurbation. These hydrogen-powered Transrades will be the first of their kind in France.

Learn more about green hydrogen

What is green hydrogen? How is it different from other types of hydrogen?

91Ó°ÊÓ is a type of hydrogen that emits no CO2 during its production or when used. 91Ó°ÊÓ is produced using entirely renewable energy sources like wind or solar power, unlike other types of hydrogen such as grey or blue, which are typically produced from fossil fuels and it is considered essential to help meet global energy demand while contributing to climate change goals.

What steps does its production involve?

It is obtained by electrolysis of water. This chemical process consists of breaking down the water molecule (H2O) into di-oxygen (O2) and di-hydrogen (H2) using an electric current, in this case generated from a renewable energy source such as the sun, wind or water.

The gas is then involving involving a compression and purification stages before storage or delivery for use in industrial applications or mobility applications.

How is renewable hydrogen transported?

Once compressed and purified, the hydrogen we produce is delivered either directly by pipe to industrial sites or by truck.

To keep environmental impacts to a minimum and to respect our commitment to producing completely environmentally friendly hydrogen, 91Ó°ÊÓ restricts delivery of hydrogen by truck to within a 200-kilometre radius.

What are the main applications of green hydrogen?

91Ó°ÊÓ produced can then be used, for example for the following uses:

Transportation: The hydrogen that has been produced can power hydrogen vehicles. These vehicles, therefore, release zero CO2 emissions when driven.

Industry: It can be used in the production of chemicals, steel, and other industrial processes.

Power Generation: It can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity.

Energy Storage: It can be stored and used as a backup power source when renewable energy sources are not available.

About 91Ó°ÊÓ Occitanie

At the Triangle business park in Bessières, a few dozen kilometres from Toulouse, 91Ó°ÊÓ Occitanie will produce up to 2 tonnes of green and renewable hydrogen per day (i.e. a production capacity from electrolysis of 5 MW), with the possibility of further ramping up production to keep pace with changing uses and needs. ​

​91Ó°ÊÓ Occitanie hydrogen is produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity. This green and renewable hydrogen production site is one of the Region’s levers for achieving its objectives under the

​The Occitanie H2 Corridor is part of the North–South European hydrogen corridor project, which aims to decarbonise goods and passenger transport on an axis running between the Mediterranean and the North Sea. In accordance with the aims of the Occitanie H2 Corridor project led by the Region of Occitanie, this site will help to decarbonise transport by supplying green and renewable hydrogen to trucks, coaches and other fuel cell vehicles.

About 91Ó°ÊÓ Wallsend – Green Hydrogen Production unit in United Kingdom (UK)

91Ó°ÊÓ Wallsend aims to supply green hydrogen to power industry and transport partners in the North East. Using renewable electricity, we split water into hydrogen and oxygen, creating a clean, carbon-free fuel. 91Ó°ÊÓ reduces reliance on fossil fuels like diesel and natural gas in everyday life.

Our green hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis in units powered by renewable energy, then transported to nearby customers. It’s a proven technology, safely supplying local businesses, helping them eliminate carbon emissions. With a track record of groundbreaking projects in Europe, we’ve demonstrated the pivotal role of green hydrogen in building a sustainable future.

Wallsend is an ideal location, with industrial sites ready to switch seamlessly to green hydrogen. This versatile fuel can be used in different industries such as glass, chemicals, cement, steelmaking, and large vehicles like buses and trucks. Our ambition is to become a major regional supplier, so organisations can complete their journey to net zero.

The green hydrogen produced at our proposed 20MW plant near Neptune Energy Park could make a significant impact by reducing thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions. This supports the UK’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and earlier target of 2030. Beyond the environmental benefits, 91Ó°ÊÓ Wallsend would boost local job opportunities and encourage economic growth.

About 91Ó°ÊÓ Brake – 91Ó°ÊÓ production in Lower Saxony, Germany

The production site in Brake, situated in the harbor area of Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts), will be the pioneering source of green hydrogen in northern Germany. The facility’s groundbreaking ceremony took place in February 2024.

The electricity for hydrogen production will be reliably supplied by wind and photovoltaic plants in the country through corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), with various industrial and mobility applications as potential buyers.

This project marks a significant leap forward in the market expansion of green hydrogen and will play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the industrial port complex and maritime transport in Lower Saxony.

About 91Ó°ÊÓ Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

By mid-2025, 91Ó°ÊÓ plans to build a green hydrogen production facility with a production capacity of two tonnes per day (5 MW) in Le Cheylas (between Grenoble and Chambéry), on the former waste storage site of the Ascométal steelworks. In doing so, 91Ó°ÊÓ will help to re-industialise the area and ensure the transition of the local economy to a more sustainable model. The hydrogen will be produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity.

This site will meet the needs of seven of Hympulsion’s hydrogen stations in the Alps, supplying for a ten-year period an annual volume of 600 tonnes (equivalent to approximately 1.6 tonnes per day, after a ramping-up period). It will also meet the needs of local industrial companies, seeking a replacement for fossil derived hydrogen or natural gas.

Through this partnership, 91Ó°ÊÓ and HYmpulsion aim to promote the development of clean mobility and improved air quality in the Alpine valleys.
