Haffner Energy Revolutionizes Green Hydrogen Production in Champagne Region
Key Ideas
- Haffner Energy has commissioned the world's first hydrogen plant from solid biomass in the Champagne region, significantly reducing green hydrogen costs.
- Their unique thermochemical process produces 'super green' hydrogen, available for commercial use starting the second half of 2025, enhancing sector competitiveness.
- The production capacity at the Marolles site is 15 kg of hydrogen per hour, contributing to decarbonization efforts in mobility and industry, avoiding 2,400 metric tons of CO₂ per year.
- The biomass thermolysis technology offers a flexible and economically advantageous production model, with the site operating 8,000 hours per year and producing 120 metric tons of mobility-grade hydrogen annually.
Haffner Energy has made a groundbreaking achievement in the renewable energy sector with the commissioning of the world's first plant producing hydrogen from solid biomass in the Champagne region of France. The unique thermochemical process developed by Haffner Energy significantly reduces the costs of green hydrogen production, making 'super green' hydrogen commercially available from the second half of 2025. Philippe Haffner, the Co-founder and CEO of Haffner Energy, expressed confidence that their solution will accelerate the adoption of renewable hydrogen and improve the sector's competitiveness. The Marolles site has a production capacity of 15 kg of hydrogen per hour, with plans to enhance this capacity further. It will contribute to decarbonization efforts by producing 120 metric tons of mobility-grade hydrogen annually, equivalent to 12 million kilometers traveled using hydrogen vehicles. Additionally, the site will avoid or capture approximately 2,400 metric tons of CO₂ per year through the use of hydrogen and biocarbon. The flexible and economically advantageous production model, along with the operational efficiency of the biomass thermolysis unit, positions Haffner Energy at the forefront of sustainable hydrogen production in the region.
