Lhyfe, a pioneer within the manufacturing of inexperienced and renewable hydrogen, delivered 350 kilograms of inexperienced hydrogen (Determine 1) to pure gasoline knowledgeable Géométhane, on June 13, for it to check injecting hydrogen into salt caverns at its Manosque website within the south of France. The injection, which was accomplished throughout the day, is a key check for the subsequent stage of a serious challenge led by the DLVAgglo city group and Géométhane, which goals to speed up the decarbonization of the Marseille-Fos-Sur-Mer industrial website (within the south of France) specifically utilizing inexperienced hydrogen.
With this experiment, Géométhane, which presently shops pure gasoline in salt caverns, seeks to check injecting hydrogen into these similar caverns, in an effort to examine how hydrogen behaves. The hydrogen was injected into the pure gasoline system to achieve a storage properly and can stay there for commentary for a number of weeks, earlier than being extracted and analyzed.
Storing hydrogen in salt caverns is anticipated to contribute to native power independence by serving to to stability the manufacturing and use of various power sources—hydrogen might be extracted on demand to deal with peaks in consumption, or re-injected to retailer surplus power equipped by nuclear energy stations and renewable power at occasions when power use is decrease.
Matthieu Guesné, founder and CEO of Lhyfe, mentioned, “We are proud to be contributing to this trial, which demonstrates the extent of the possibilities offered by hydrogen, not only in terms of decarbonizing mobility and industry, but also in terms of energy storage, which is a necessary component of our energy independence. As more and more sites begin to produce green hydrogen, the question of storage will become central. The use of salt caverns is a serious option being considered all over Europe. This trial will provide initial feedback on the subject.”
Lhyfe is a European group dedicated to power transition, and a producer and provider of inexperienced and renewable hydrogen. Its manufacturing websites and portfolio of initiatives search to offer entry to inexperienced and renewable hydrogen in industrial portions, and allow the creation of a virtuous power mannequin able to decarbonizing complete sectors of trade and transport.
In 2021, Lhyfe inaugurated the primary industrial-scale inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing plant on this planet to be interconnected with a wind farm. In 2022, it inaugurated the primary offshore inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing pilot platform on this planet. In 2023, it inaugurated two new websites, and presently has a number of websites underneath building or growth throughout Europe. Lhyfe is represented in 12 European nations and had 195 workers on the finish of December 2023.
