Genvia Leading the Energy Transition with Innovative Hydrogen Technology
Key Ideas
  • Genvia, a start-up backed by key industry players, is industrializing a high-temperature solid oxide technology electrolyser for hydrogen production.
  • The project, part of the IPCEI wave 'Hy2tech', aims to address decarbonisation challenges in industries like cement and steel manufacturing.
  • Genvia's first client, Arcelor Mittal plant in Saint Chély d’Apcher, received a significant grant to support decarbonisation efforts.
  • The innovative hydrogen technology developed by Genvia signifies a significant step towards transitioning from oil and gas to clean tech solutions.
Genvia, a groundbreaking project born out of 15 years of research and development at the CEA, is making waves in the energy sector with its cutting-edge hydrogen technology. The start-up, with major stakeholders including Schlumberger New Energy, Vinci Construction, Vicat, and the Occitanie Region, is spearheading the transition from traditional fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives. Located in the former industrial site of Schlumberger, Genvia is focused on industrializing a revolutionary high-temperature solid oxide technology electrolyser for hydrogen production. This technology is poised to play a vital role in decarbonizing challenging industrial processes, particularly in sectors such as cement and steel manufacturing. Genvia's first major client, the Arcelor Mittal plant in Saint Chély d’Apcher, is set to benefit from this innovative solution and has also secured a substantial grant of EUR 3.2 million to support its decarbonization initiatives. The successful development and implementation of Genvia's hydrogen technology represent a significant milestone in the journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial landscape.
