Lhyfe and Elyse Energy Join Forces to Produce E-Methanol from Green Hydrogen at Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port
Key Ideas
  • Lhyfe and Elyse Energy have partnered to develop the production of e-methanol from green hydrogen in Nantes, France, aiming to decarbonize maritime transport.
  • The collaboration follows Lhyfe being selected as the winner of a call for expression of interest by the Nantes Saint-Nazaire port authority in 2023.
  • E-methanol is seen as a clean fuel that can contribute to achieving carbon neutrality and reducing reliance on fossil fuels in the transportation sector.
  • The project's implementation is contingent upon the feasibility study, regulatory approvals, and financial investments, with a presentation scheduled for September 2024.
Lhyfe, a leading producer of green hydrogen, has announced a partnership with Elyse Energy, a producer of low-carbon molecules, to develop the production of e-methanol from green hydrogen at Nantes' industrial port. This collaboration stems from Lhyfe winning a call for expression of interest by the Nantes Saint-Nazaire port authority to establish a green hydrogen production and distribution operation at the Montoir-de-Bretagne site. The joint project aims to produce e-methanol, a clean fuel, to decarbonize maritime transport and align with carbon neutrality goals. The partnership signifies the first such collaboration for both companies, highlighting their commitment to sustainable energy solutions. To proceed, the project requires a comprehensive feasibility study, regulatory approvals, building permits, and financial decisions, with a presentation planned for September 2024. Lhyfe's track record in green hydrogen production and Elyse Energy's expertise in low-carbon molecules position them well to drive innovations in sustainable fuels for the maritime and industrial sectors.
