Lhyfe has won support from the French government, with a grant of up to €149 million, to build a green hydrogen production plant near Le Havre. The project, with a capacity of 100 MW, has been validated as part of the 3rd wave of PIIEC (Projets importants d'Intérêt Européen Commun) hydrogen projects. Up to 34 tonnes of green hydrogen per day will be produced near the Grand Canal du Havre, one of Europe's largest industrial port areas. The site is scheduled to open in 2028.
"The French government's significant support for Lhyfe's project to build the future green hydrogen production site at Gonfreville-L'Orcher honors us and is a concrete expression of the decarbonization policy that France has been pursuing for several years. This announcement is a mark of confidence in Lhyfe and its expertise, and a genuine recognition of the work accomplished. The region's needs are present and massive, and we can meet them right now with a clean, mature and adapted technology", said Matthieu Guesné, founder and CEO of Lhyfe.
