Lhyfe's Green Horizon: Transforming Le Havre with Large-Scale Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • Lhyfe secures a €149 million grant for its Green Horizon project in Le Havre, aiming for a capacity of 34 tonnes of green hydrogen per day by 2029.
  • The project in Gonfreville-l’Orcher, part of Europe's largest industrial port region, will supply low-carbon hydrogen to industries and mobility sectors, supporting decarbonization plans.
  • Funded by the IPCEI program, the project aligns with France's National Hydrogen Strategy of reaching 4.5 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030 and showcases the commercial viability of large-scale renewable hydrogen production.
  • Lhyfe's expertise in onsite hydrogen production and innovative projects positions it as a leader in the renewable hydrogen sector, with Green Horizon emerging as a frontrunner in the region's hydrogen infrastructure development.
Lhyfe, a green hydrogen producer, is making strides in renewable energy by embarking on a major project in Le Havre, France. The Green Horizon initiative has secured a substantial €149 million grant to establish a significant hydrogen production facility with a planned daily capacity of 34 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2029. Located in the industrial port zone of Gonfreville-l’Orcher, the project aims to provide low-carbon hydrogen to regional industries and mobility sectors, supporting decarbonization efforts of companies like Yara. This endeavor, part of Europe’s Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) hydrogen program, signifies a crucial step in decarbonizing industrial uses at scale. The project's financial backing from Bpifrance includes phased grants over several years, emphasizing milestones for progress and construction. With a focus on delivering hydrogen through pipelines to industrial clients, the Green Horizon project is set to revolutionize decarbonization in Le Havre, contributing to France's National Hydrogen Strategy of boosting electrolysis capacity. Lhyfe's track record in green hydrogen production, with existing sites in France and Germany, positions it as an industry pioneer. The company's innovative approaches, including direct connections to wind farms and offshore projects, highlight its leadership in renewable hydrogen. Green Horizon's advanced stage, with secured grid connections and permit applications, underscores its significance as a leading large-scale hydrogen infrastructure project in the region, poised to drive the energy transition towards sustainable practices.
