Carrefour and HysetCo's Joint Effort: Opening Three Hydrogen Stations in Paris
Key Ideas
- Carrefour and HysetCo, along with the European Commission and Île-de-France Région, launch three hydrogen stations in Paris.
- The stations will support decarbonization efforts, providing 500 kg of hydrogen per day for cars and light commercial vehicles.
- HysetCo's network in Paris will expand to eight operational stations, with plans to add more in the future.
- The project is co-funded by the European Commission and Île-de-France Region, aiming to establish a network of eight hydrogen stations in the region.
In a collaborative effort, Carrefour, HysetCo, the European Commission, and Île-de-France Région have unveiled three new hydrogen stations in Paris. These stations, strategically located at Carrefour hypermarkets in Drancy, Collégien, and Pontault-Combault, aim to drive the decarbonization of mobility and enhance air quality in the region. Each station is equipped to dispense 500 kg of hydrogen per day, catering to 100 to 200 daily fill-ups for cars and light commercial vehicles. Carrefour's Fuel Business Unit Director, Hervé Mantoux, emphasized the company's commitment to the energy transition through this initiative. Additionally, HysetCo's network in Paris will now boast a total of eight operational hydrogen stations, with plans for further expansion by establishing a dozen new sites in the future. The project, which received co-funding from the European Commission and Île-de-France Region, is part of a broader initiative to establish a network of eight hydrogen stations in the region, promoting sustainable and eco-friendly mobility solutions.
