Inauguration of Innovative Hydrogen Refuelling Station in Touraine Vallée de l'Indre
Key Ideas
- The Avant-Première event unveiled the operational Hydrogen Refuelling Station in Touraine Vallée de l'Indre, a significant step for clean hydrogen mobility in the region and along national and European corridors.
- CAVENDISH HYDROGEN, in collaboration with EIFHYTEC, successfully installed a 'dual' HRS capable of refuelling a range of vehicles, contributing to CO2 emissions reduction and bridging gaps in the European HRS network.
- Over 60 participants from various sectors attended the event, showing strong interest in hydrogen applications and demonstrating the commitment of Touraine Vallée de l'Indre to promoting clean mobility through tangible projects.
- COSMHYC DEMO project, led by EIFER, aims to demonstrate the innovative hydrogen compression technology in the region, emphasizing the importance of cost reduction and efficiency improvement for hydrogen mobility success.
The COSMHYC DEMO consortium and the 'Touraine Vallée de l'Indre' community of municipalities recently organized an Avant-Première event to introduce a new hydrogen refuelling station established as part of the EU-funded COSMHYC DEMO project. This event marked a crucial milestone for clean hydrogen mobility not only in the Touraine Vallée de l'Indre region but also along national and European corridors. The Hydrogen Refuelling Station, designed and implemented by CAVENDISH HYDROGEN, is now operational and features a 'dual' functionality capable of refuelling various types of vehicles at different pressures. This station's strategic location off motorway A10, a TEN T corridor, will play a vital role in connecting major cities like Paris and Bordeaux, enhancing the French and European hydrogen refuelling network. The successful Avant-Première event gathered over 60 participants from diverse sectors, showcasing live refuelling demonstrations and generating significant interest in hydrogen applications. The local commitment to clean mobility was further emphasized by Alain Esnault, vice-president of CCTVI, highlighting the region's dedication to reducing CO2 emissions. The COSMHYC DEMO project, coordinated by EIFER, focuses on deploying innovative hydrogen compression technology to improve the efficiency and reduce costs in the hydrogen refuelling process. Through such initiatives, Touraine Vallée de l'Indre is paving the way for sustainable and efficient hydrogen mobility, setting an example for other regions to follow.
