Lhyfe and Elyse Energy have announced a partnership to develop the Green Coast project in the Loire estuary, aiming to produce e-methanol from green renewable hydrogen. This initiative comes as part of efforts to drive decarbonisation in the Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, an area historically reliant on fossil fuels. The transition to more sustainable energy sources is crucial for the competitiveness and survival of European ports, with strong support from regional bodies like Pays de la Loire Region. The project is expected to not only reduce carbon emissions but also stimulate the growth of a new industrial sector in the region, offering long-term employment opportunities. The Loire Estuaire Décarbonation ZIBaC programme will play a key role in ensuring coordination and synergy among various decarbonisation initiatives in the estuary area, ultimately contributing to a greener and more sustainable industrial and logistics port ecosystem.
