The French hydrogen industry is at a crossroads, aiming to transition from grey hydrogen to green hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions and achieve energy sovereignty. With a significant portion of hydrogen currently produced from fossil gas, France is looking towards electrolysis as the key method for green hydrogen production. However, while the country has set ambitious targets for low-carbon and renewable hydrogen production by 2030, there are concerns about meeting these goals. Projections suggest a significant shortfall in production capacity by 2026, leading to calls for a revision of targets that are deemed overly optimistic. Major projects such as Normand’Hy and Masshylia are underway, but questions remain about whether these initiatives will suffice. Importing hydrogen is also under consideration, with countries in South America and North Africa offering favorable renewable energy sources. However, challenges related to transportation, including liquefaction and pipeline infrastructure, need to be addressed. ADEME's analysis indicates that France's hydrogen production could remain competitive up to 2050, emphasizing the importance of developing storage and infrastructure. The debate now extends to issues of sovereignty, such as whether France should focus on domestic ammonia production and e-kerosene. Ultimately, the revised national strategy will need to address these complexities to ensure France's competitiveness in the global hydrogen market.
