Lhyfe Expands Green Hydrogen Footprint in Northern France with New Production Plant
Key Ideas
  • Lhyfe has commenced construction on its fifth green hydrogen production plant in Croixrault, France, with the capacity to supply up to two tonnes of hydrogen per day from 2026.
  • The 5MW unit will not only support mobility applications in the region but also contribute to stabilizing Hauts-de-France's power grid by adjusting its electricity use in line with wider power demands.
  • The company's Sales Director highlighted the importance of decarbonisation for competitiveness and expressed eagerness to leverage the hydrogen production for the region's energy transition, reindustrialization, and energy sovereignty.
  • With the Croixrault site, Lhyfe aims to enhance its coverage of France, complementing its existing facilities in Pays de la Loire, Brittany, and Occitanie, with Auvergne Rhône-Aples currently under construction.
Lhyfe, a French developer, is undertaking the construction of its fifth green hydrogen production plant in Croixrault, located in the Somme region of Hauts-de-France. This new facility is set to be operational from 2026 and is projected to generate up to two tonnes of hydrogen per day. Notably, this marks Lhyfe's first establishment in northern France, indicating a strategic expansion of its green hydrogen footprint. The company envisions supplying the produced green hydrogen to support various mobility applications in the region. Additionally, the 5MW unit at the Croixrault site is designed to play a role in stabilizing the local power grid by adapting its electricity consumption based on broader power requirements. Lhyfe's Sales Director, Maud Augeai, emphasized the pivotal link between decarbonization and competitiveness, expressing enthusiasm about utilizing the hydrogen from Croixrault to advance the energy transition, foster reindustrialization, and bolster energy sovereignty in the region. By integrating the Croixrault plant into its portfolio, Lhyfe aims to enhance its coverage across France, with existing production sites in Pays de la Loire, Brittany, and Occitanie, and a future site in Auvergne Rhône-Aples.
