Qair's Green Hydrogen Infrastructure Expansion in France and Iceland
Key Ideas
- Qair's new hydrogen refuelling station in Béziers, France, will provide 600 kg of renewable hydrogen per day, primarily for the local public bus fleet, supporting the decarbonization of heavy transport in Europe.
- The station is part of the 'Corridor H2' initiative, aiming to decarbonize European freight transport, with hydrogen sourced from renewable energy, backed by the European Investment Bank and the European Union.
- In addition to the French project, Qair is expanding its Green Hydrogen Infrastructure in Iceland with the Blær project, purchasing hydrogen refuelling stations in Reykjavik and planning four more stations in different regions over the next three years.
- Qair's overall strategy includes the development of a 2 MW hydrogen electrolysis plant in Grundartangi, Iceland, to support the growing network of hydrogen refuelling stations and contribute to a larger-scale electrolysis initiative.
Qair, a key player in sustainable energy solutions, is making significant strides in the decarbonization of heavy transport in Europe through its Green Hydrogen Infrastructure projects. The company's latest endeavor in Béziers, France, involves the establishment of a hydrogen refuelling station set to provide 600 kg of renewable hydrogen per day, catering primarily to the local public bus fleet. This station, supplied by France's largest renewable hydrogen production unit, Hyd'Occ, is strategically positioned to accelerate hydrogen mobility across Europe as part of the 'Corridor H2' initiative. Supported by the Occitanie Region, the European Investment Bank, and the European Union, the project aims to contribute to the decarbonization of European freight transport by utilizing hydrogen sourced from renewable energy sources. Not stopping there, Qair is also expanding its Green Hydrogen Infrastructure in Iceland with the Blær project, which involves the purchase of hydrogen refuelling stations in Reykjavik and plans for four additional stations in different regions. To further strengthen its network, Qair is developing a 2 MW hydrogen electrolysis plant in Grundartangi, Iceland, to support the growing demand for hydrogen fuel. With a commitment to sustainable energy solutions and continuous improvement, Qair's initiatives in France and Iceland exemplify its dedication to driving innovation and decarbonization in the transport sector.
