Lhyfe announced on Monday that it had been selected by Nantes and the Port of Saint-Nazaire to develop a green hydrogen production site designed to decarbonize the port ecosystem on a "large scale".

The group reports that it has won the call for expressions of interest (AMI) launched at the end of 2022 to set up a renewable hydrogen production and distribution unit on the Montoir-de-Bretagne site.

Lhyfe is to build an industrial site with a production capacity of up to 85 tonnes per day of green, renewable hydrogen (installed electrolysis capacity of 210 MW) to the north of the "multi-bulk" terminal.

Implementation of the project, which is scheduled for 2028, is still subject to the granting of operating and building permits, as well as financial decisions.

The project is intended to contribute to the decarbonization and energy transition of the industrial port complex and maritime transport in the Loire estuary.

For the record, Lhyfe produces its green, renewable hydrogen by water electrolysis, using production units powered by renewable energy sources.
