Lhyfe Delivers Green Hydrogen for Innovative Storage Test in France
Key Ideas
  • Lhyfe delivered 350 kilograms of green hydrogen to Géométhane in the south of France for testing in salt caverns, marking a key step in decarbonizing the Marseille-Fos-Sur-Mer industrial site.
  • Géométhane is exploring the injection of hydrogen into its salt caverns to study its behavior, with potential benefits including energy storage, balancing energy sources, and contributing to local energy independence.
  • The trial aims to provide insights into the feasibility of storing hydrogen in salt caverns, highlighting the growing importance of storage solutions in the context of energy transition and decarbonization efforts.
  • Lhyfe, a major player in the green and renewable hydrogen sector, is actively involved in advancing energy transition by providing industrial quantities of green hydrogen and supporting the development of innovative energy models across Europe.
Lhyfe, a leading producer of green and renewable hydrogen, recently supplied 350 kilograms of green hydrogen to Géométhane in the south of France for a groundbreaking storage experiment. The hydrogen injection into salt caverns at Géométhane's Manosque site is part of a significant project aimed at decarbonizing the industrial site of Marseille-Fos-Sur-Mer. This test, conducted in collaboration with the DLVAgglo urban community, explores the viability of storing hydrogen in salt caverns as a means to enhance energy independence and facilitate the integration of different energy sources. By injecting hydrogen into the natural gas infrastructure and observing its behavior in storage wells, Géométhane is paving the way for potential applications in energy balancing and peak consumption management. The project also serves as a crucial step in evaluating the role of hydrogen storage in supporting the expansion of renewable energy sources and nuclear power in energy systems. Matthieu Guesné, the CEO of Lhyfe, emphasized the significance of this trial in showcasing the diverse applications of hydrogen in energy transition. He highlighted the importance of energy storage and the promising prospect of leveraging salt caverns for hydrogen storage across Europe. Lhyfe, with its focus on energy transition and sustainable practices, is actively involved in scaling up green hydrogen production and deploying innovative energy solutions. With the successful completion of this storage experiment, the project is set to provide valuable insights into the potential of salt caverns for hydrogen storage and reinforce the importance of storage solutions in advancing decarbonization efforts. Lhyfe's commitment to expanding green hydrogen production and supporting decarbonization initiatives underscores the growing momentum towards sustainable energy practices in Europe.
