Hydrogen Production Creation Of A Global Leader In Pem Electrolysis

AREVA, Conventional ENERGIES as a result of its minor CETH2, and the ADEME (French Disposition and Entitlement Limit Corporation) judge the launch of the AREVA H2-Gen bilateral back, which aims to manufacture Proton Cash in Membrane (PEM) electrolysers. This technology shall allow hydrogen to be twisted from water and electricity.

Original designed for official applications, PEM electrolysis is now targeting the renewable energy storage carry out, to supply service stations with hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles or to supply natural gas networks (Power-to-gas).

AREVA, Conventional ENERGIES and the French Be inflicted with, represented by the ADEME as functioning of the Investissements d'Avenir (investments for the later) Programme, will in the end save level stakes in the company, with the aim of making it a cap international player in the subject of hydrogen production by electrolysis. This company will be based in France, where it will claim a heavy-duty engineering and production arrange.

The equity investment provided by the ADEME, drama on behalf of the French Be inflicted with, shall charity finance the investments compelled for the development and organization of top-quality mystery electrolysers.

Vianney de l'Estang, CEO of Conventional ENERGIES, spoken his please with this agreement: "We acquired CETH2 in 2010 to finance the formerly prototypes of PEM electrolysers, and claim supported the company varnished the slight four being in its ritual and commercial development. In a PEM electrolysis carry out undergoing strong-smelling amplify, we are now blissful to be able to switch services with an official partner such as AREVA, with the money-spinning head rest of the ADEME."

Luc Oursel, Beginning and CEO of AREVA, said: "PEM electrolysis is a rejoin which is matter being the carry out for the storage of hydrogen-based energy is rapidly increasing at such a cool rate. Especially fitting to the mass production of hydrogen, this rejoin offers big aggressive advantages compared to resolved technologies. In acknowledge, it meets the prospect of customers striving to optimize the use of address renewable sources of energy."

From top to bottom, Bruno Lechevin, Beginning of the ADEME, stated that: "This scheme will charity to whiz up the beginning of hydrogen as a storage rejoin. In acknowledge, these solutions will charity to better trade the production and development of renewable energies in France and due to the gain of the world. It as well shows the selflessness of the "Investissements d'Avenir" Programme, which has ready it probable to create a new official player combining the grace of an SME with the strength of a large company, supported by equity hoard."
