Air Liquide Invests 50 Million Euros in Hydrogen Supply Chain Along the Seine
Key Ideas
- Air Liquide to invest 50 million euros in hydrogen packaging and supply chain along the Seine to support the growing number of hydrogen vehicles.
- The project includes the development of hydrogen cabs, corporate fleets of light commercial vehicles, hydrogen buses, and trucks.
- Air Liquide will dedicate a quarter of the production capacity of its 'Normand'Hy' electrolyzer to supply renewable hydrogen for decarbonized mobility on the Seine Axis.
- This initiative is expected to cater to the equivalent consumption of 500 hydrogen-powered trucks or 10,000 light vehicles.
Air Liquide has announced a substantial investment of 50 million euros in a new hydrogen packaging and supply chain project along the Seine-Maritime region. The purpose of this initiative is to support the increasing number of hydrogen vehicles on the Seine Axis, extending from Le Havre to the Ile-de-France region. The focus will be on developing hydrogen cabs, expanding corporate fleets of light commercial vehicles, hydrogen buses, and trucks. Air Liquide plans to allocate around 25% of its 'Normand'Hy' electrolyzer's production capacity to supply renewable hydrogen for decarbonized mobility along the Seine. This commitment is estimated to cover the energy needs of 500 hydrogen-powered trucks or 10,000 light vehicles. The move reflects a positive step towards sustainable transportation and signifies Air Liquide's dedication to leveraging hydrogen technology for decarbonization.
