Electrolysis equipment debuts at HYVIA's Flins, France-based manufacturing facility
In a significant stride towards sustainable hydrogen mobility, HYVIA, a French company specialising in hydrogen solutions for professionals, has received a 1 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis system from Plug, a global leader in hydrogen solutions. This installation marks a crucial step in HYVIA's mission to promote hydrogen mobility in Europe.
The electrolysis system, installed on April 5, 2023, will produce 400 kg of green hydrogen per day, enabling more than 1,000 fuel cells to be tested annually. This installation is part of HYVIA's comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem, which includes a range of H2 light commercial vehicles, H2 refueling stations, H2 supply, and financing and maintenance solutions.
The PEM electrolysis system, a type that Plug has previously delivered to countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, is a testament to the strong collaboration between HYVIA and Plug. This collaboration is further supported by the expertise of HYVIA's shareholder, the Renault Group.
The installation of the electrolysis system at HYVIA is also part of the development of skills that HYVIA brings to the Renault Group Refactory in Flins, dedicated to the circular economy. This collaboration is seen as a significant industrial and human challenge, reflecting the commitment of all parties involved in making hydrogen mobility a reality.
Plug, a company renowned for its 60,000 fuel cell systems deployed worldwide and 185 hydrogen refueling stations distributing more than 70 tons of hydrogen per day, is a key partner in this endeavour.
HYVIA's hydrogen mobility offering includes a variety of light commercial vehicles, such as vans, chassis cabs, and minibuses. With the addition of the 1 MW PEM electrolysis system, HYVIA is well-positioned to lead in the development and deployment of green hydrogen solutions in Europe.
This development underscores HYVIA's commitment to a sustainable future, aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to clean energy solutions. The company's focus on hydrogen mobility in Europe is a promising step towards a greener and more sustainable transportation sector.
