HY2GEN FRANCE SAS

Products: bio-methanol, oxygen and green hydrogen.

Founded in 2019 in Aix en Provence is 100% owned by Hy2gen AG, Germany.
Its business purpose is developing and producing green hydrogen and green fuels for the European market . Green hydrogen produced by Hy2gen France SAS by means of Alkaline electrolysis, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) or pyrolysis.

Being located at the south of France means being able to supply the mobility and maritime sector to the whole Mediterranean area, an ideal location for establishing the green hydrogen productions due to the facts that the central and local governments strongly committed to the reduction of greenhouse gases by supporting hydrogen business, carbon free mobility and carbon reduction in the industrial sector.

HY2GEN SOLUTIONS FOR:

Mobility

Road transportation requires to be decarbonized and French major cities already took decision to decrease the transportation CO2 emission. Hydrogen has a role to play in the heavy duty mobility as well as the interconnection with other areas/countries and the capacity of the French Regions in terms of renewable energy production means that hydrogen is a focus.

Combining maritime, industry and mobility needs will enable to create a complete network centred on local large scale green hydrogen production facilities and multimodal distribution.

Projects:

In order to develop projects in local territories such as the French Mediterranean area, local SPVs will be created.
In the south of France, Hy2gen Med SAS will be created as a subsidiary of Hy2gen France, to support the development of local projects such as:

SUNRHYSE

In collaboration with a photovoltaic developer OXYGN and the Photovoltaic operator, SOLARCENTURY,  HY2GEN FRANCE plans to build a 30 MW electrolysis plant in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, supplied with green electricity by solar panels via a direct purchase agreement (DPA).

This initiative makes direct and more global use of solar energy and local renewable energies sourced from the electricity grid to produce green hydrogen in industrial capacity, enabling a competitive price for hydrogen to be achieved and its marketing for land and sea mobility in the southeast quarter and, in the long term, a smart grid function: the possibility of storage to supplement the grid.

– Start of production 2021 to gradually reach its maximum in 2024 –

Hynovera

 Construction of a renewable aviation fuel (E-Kerosene) production platform consisting of the integration of
– biomass gasification unit of 250 tons/day of wood;
– 100MW water electrolysis plant;
– E-Kerosene synthesis process.
– E-Methanol synthesis process.

The electrolysis unit, powered by local green electricity to produce green hydrogen (H2) which, combined with syngas (CO/H2) from gasification, will enable the production of E-Kerosene on an industrial scale compatible with the decarbonisation challenges of the aviation sector.
