In the world of sustainable energy, everyone has an important part to play in shaping the future. Today, we introduce Sandrine, who has been with Lhyfe for over two years, overseeing logistics and transport to ensure the smooth delivery of green hydrogen to customers.
With a background in sea freight and a passion for reducing CO2 emissions, Sandrine shares her journey at Lhyfe and her dedication to sustainability.
Can you please introduce yourself in 1 sentence?
My name is Sandrine Vivier, and I’m involved in the deployment of logistics at Lhyfe to achieve our main objective: ensuring the distribution of our green hydrogen to customers.
How would you describe your job at Lhyfe and what do you particularly like about it?
I’ve been with Lhyfe for over 2 years, starting with hydrogen delivery planning in close collaboration with our production site and our customers.
In view of our strong growth in Europe, new tasks await me in the area of transport management: strengthening our support for transporters to ensure compliance with our training/safety processes that we deploy with our partners.
How does your work contribute to reducing CO2 emissions?
It’s a subject we’re actively working on: on a daily basis, our team works with a wide variety of customers –logistics operators, distribution stations, passenger transport companies and local authorities– to optimise their deliveries and reduce the number of kilometres travelled, thereby helping to cut CO2 emissions. These partners are increasingly adopting green hydrogen as a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Thanks to hydrogen-powered vehicles, which do not emit CO2, they are helping to improve air quality while contributing to the transition to cleaner mobility. To give a concrete example, 1 kg of green hydrogen saves 10 kg of CO2.
We also ensure that we comply with the RFNBO regulatory framework, which requires bulk deliveries to maintain a carbon content of less than 3 kg of CO2 per kg of hydrogen transported. We also take care to comply with the RFNBO regulatory framework, which requires bulk deliveries to maintain a carbon content of less than 3 kg of CO2 per kg of hydrogen transported. We are also placing great hopes in the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) 2025 to reduce our CO2 footprint.
What is your fondest memory of working at Lhyfe?
In July 2022, I took part in the various transports of modules on the SeaLhyfe platform to produce renewable green hydrogen at sea. It was a great experience, shared with the team working on the project.
And finally, why green hydrogen?
Coming from the world of sea freight, the long distances travelled for some goods seemed excessive to me, and admiring the projects around the new ship propulsion systems to reduce CO2 emissions, I easily joined Lhyfe for its production of clean and sustainable energy without emitting CO2.
