French hydrogen producer Lhyfe has partnered with Elyse Energy to collaborate on a project aimed at producing e-methanol from green hydrogen for the purpose of decarbonizing maritime transport. The exclusive agreement between the two companies involves conducting a comprehensive feasibility study at the Montoir-de-Bretagne site within the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire. Lhyfe, following its selection as the winner of a call for proposals by Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, is planning to establish an industrial unit with a significant production capacity of up to 85 tons per day of green and renewable hydrogen by 2028. This endeavor is expected to contribute significantly to the decarbonization of maritime transport. Elyse Energy, the first project partner for Lhyfe in this initiative, will play a key role in the project's development. The progression of the project is contingent upon various factors including the outcomes of the feasibility study, regulatory approvals, and financial decisions. A presentation showcasing the project is slated for September 2024, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to maritime decarbonization.
