All about H2

Matthieu Guesné explains: What is green hydrogen for?

What are the uses for hydrogen, and who are the consumers? Matthieu Guesné answers our questions and explains why it's important to act now to decarbonize our society.

Green hydrogen revolution – transforming businesses and communities in the North East

With the climate emergency at our doorstep and high energy bills squeezing households and businesses, the need to end our reliance on fossil fuels has never been more urgent. Green hydrogen, a form of clean energy that only emits water and oxygen, offers a significant solution to the problems we face by helping reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy security.

Water, our blue gold!

Blue gold has never been so aptly named, as access to water resources has become increasingly precious over the years. Drought has become one of the most striking features of global warming, and it is only getting worse every year.

Deutsche Bahn’s first hydrogen trains

Deutsche Bahn Energie has launched an innovative project in Tübingen: to run hydrogen trains on renewable hydrogen, produced by a Lhyfebox and stored in a station before powering the trains.

Vendée: the emergence of a renewable hydrogen sector in the region

The Vendée region has the ambition to install and develop a renewable hydrogen sector in its territory. It was one of the pioneers in that direction.

Lidl opens the first hydrogen logistics platform

Lidl is proud to open the first green hydrogen logistics platform in Europe in Carquefou. With 98 operational handling machines, Lidl believes in green hydrogen to optimize its logistics and reduce its CO2 emissions.

What is renewable hydrogen and what steps does its production involve?

Renewable hydrogen or green hydrogen is an energy-carrying gas that emits no CO2, either during its production or when used.

It is obtained by electrolysis of water. This chemical process consists of breaking down the water molecule (H₂O) into di-oxygen (O₂) and di-hydrogen (H₂) using an electric current…

How is renewable hydrogen transported? What can it be used for?

Once compressed and purified, the hydrogen we produce is delivered either directly by pipe to industrial sites or by truck.

To keep environmental impacts to a minimum and to respect our commitment to producing completely environmentally friendly hydrogen, Lhyfe restricts delivery of hydrogen by truck to within a 200 km…

Which industries use hydrogen? For what purposes?

For decades, hydrogen has been used extensively in a great many industrial applications, such as hydrocarbon refining, the production of ammonia and other chemicals, as well as materials processing.

Ninety-five percent of the hydrogen currently used by these industries is made using a process involving the steam reforming of…
