Air Liquide has announced a project to construct a renewable hydrogen production unit at TotalEnergies' biorefinery in La Mède, France, aimed at meeting the hydrogen demand of the biorefinery and fostering a new renewable hydrogen ecosystem in the Fos-sur-Mer industrial zone. The unit, with an annual production capacity of 25,000 tonnes, will utilize recycled biogenic byproducts from the biorefinery to produce hydrogen for biofuels and Sustainable Air Fuels (SAF). With an investment exceeding 80 million euros, the facility is scheduled to commence operations in 2028, contributing to a reduction of approximately 130,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually at the biorefinery. This initiative underscores Air Liquide's commitment to enhancing its hydrogen production capabilities and decarbonization strategy in the Fos-sur-Mer region, where the company has a longstanding presence. Through partnerships like this, Air Liquide aims to support the energy transition by offering decarbonization solutions to its industrial partners, aligning with its mission to tackle climate challenges with innovative approaches in low-carbon hydrogen and CO₂ capture technologies.
