The French government has made a strategic move by allocating land at Le Havre, a major port in the country, for three industrial projects, two of which are centered around renewable hydrogen production and import. US-based Air Products is planning to invest €1.1bn in constructing a renewable hydrogen import hub on its designated land, while French company Qair is committing €500m for an e-methanol plant at its site. Haropa Port, the port management company overseeing Le Havre, Rouen, and Paris ports, highlighted that Air Products will be importing ammonia for subsequent conversion to hydrogen. The hydrogen can then be distributed within the country either as a gas through pipelines or as a liquid using specialized trailers. This allocation of land underscores a positive step towards promoting renewable energy and sustainable practices in the industrial sector, showcasing significant investments in clean energy infrastructure at Le Havre port.
