Air Liquide

On March 8, Air Liquide received support from the French government, subject to a final validation by the European Commission, to launch its Air Liquide Normand’Hy large-scale renewable hydrogen production project. This electrolyzer of an initial 200 MW capacity, which should notably provide renewable hydrogen to TotalEnergies’ Normandy refinery, will use Siemens Energy proton-exchange membrane (PEM) technology. This project will significantly contribute to the creation of a French and European low-carbon hydrogen sector and to the decarbonization of the Normandy industrial basin. It will also contribute to the development of heavy duty hydrogen mobility in this important industrial area. The creation of that ecosystem with our partners demonstrates the will and the capacity of industrial companies to bring concrete solutions to the fight against global warming. This is in line with Air Liquide’s Sustainable Development strategy, which aims not only at reducing the Group emissions but also at providing a range of solutions to decarbonize the industry.
