French hydrogen company Lhyfe has secured €149m to build a massive green plant in Normandy, set to produce up to 34 tonnes of green hydrogen daily and help decarbonise one of Europe's largest industrial port areas.
The funding was announced as part of France's new national hydrogen strategy, which aims to make the country a European leader in hydrogen production. Lhyfe's CEO, Matthieu Guesné, said the grant reflects a "strong vote of confidence" from the French government and the European Commission.
The Green Horizon project will be located near the Grand Canal of Le Havre, a major industrial port area. The plant is expected to be completed by 2029 and will be one of the first large-scale production sites for decarbonised hydrogen in France and Europe.
