HRS, designer and manufacturer, European leader in hydrogen refueling stations, announces the commissioning of the hydrogen station of the first multi-energy station (green electricity, green hydrogen and bioNGV) of the department inaugurated by the SYDEV (energy union of the Vendée).
This station is capable of refuelling all types of vehicles with green hydrogen with a capacity of 200 kg/day and is part of SYDEV’s development program for green hydrogen transport.
Responding to the call for tenders led by ENGIE Solutions through its GNVERT sustainable gas mobility offer, HRS has been selected to design, install and commission this hydrogen refuelling station on the former Michelin industrial site, which will be reclassified as an innovation hub on renewable energies.
The 200 kg/day HRS station – bi-pressure (350, 350HF – and 700 bar) distributes green hydrogen today. This station thus responds to all hydrogen mobility uses and addresses all audiences: individuals, professionals and communities. In particular, it meets the growing needs of heavy mobility: buses, dumpsters (BOMs), service machines, etc.
SYDEV has also announced the commissioning and rotation of a hydrogen bus on its public transport service, Impulsyon, operated by RATP Dev, which will refuel at this station.
Several other stations, not allocated to date, will subsequently be deployed as part of this project. They will be part of the same ecosystem of 100% local production and distribution of 100% green hydrogen for mobility.
Hassen Rachedi, Founder and Chairman and CEO of HRS, said:
The rapid development of such ambitious programmes once again demonstrates the dynamics of the energy transition in our territories, where we are promoting the emergence of 100% renewable ecosystems and sectors based on hydrogen mobility.
“We are very proud at HRS to have been selected to participate in this project currently unique in France but which we now know can be replicated in all territories.”
Laurent Favreau, President of SYDEV,said:
In the early 2010s, we made the bet, with our mixed economy company, Vendée Énergie, to develop a green and local energy mix for decarbonized and more sustainable mobility.
“The advent of the La Roche-sur-Yon multi-energy station is a new major and concrete step in our ambition at the time. It is also the perfect illustration that when there is a collective dynamic of committed actors, anything is possible.”
