Within the framework of the Energy-Climate law and the Productive Pact, which aim to develop low-carbon and renewable hydrogen for mobility and industry in France, the three players, engaged in the energy transition, join forces to study the development potential of hydrogen in the Ambès area. At the end of this study phase, the possible uses on the territory and the port uses will be identified to imagine the development of the hydrogen sector. This protocol is a continuation of the partnership developed with ENGIE Solutions and the industrialist Nouryon, whose production of sodium chlorate generates a significant quantity of hydrogen which can be exploited within the framework of a circular economy approach scale of the territory.
Focus on hydrogen:
Hydrogen is mainly an energy carrier produced from natural gas or by electrolysis of water. Mainly used in industry (chemistry or refining), hydrogen also makes it possible to ensure the storage of electricity or transport (road, rail or maritime-maritime).
