Total and Engie partner to develop France's largest site for the production of green hydrogen from 100% renewable electricity.

摘要

Total and Engie have signed a cooperation agreement to design,develop,build and operate the Masshylia project,France's largest renewable hydrogen production site at Chateauneuf-les-Martigues in the Provence-AIpes-Cote d'Azur South region.Located at the heart of Total's La Mede biorefinery and powered by solar farms with a total capacity of more than 100 MW,the 40 MW electrolyzer will produce 5 tonnes/d of green hydrogen to meet the needs of the biofuel production process at Total's La Mede biorefinery,avoiding 15,000 tonnes/y of CO2 emissions.An innovative management solution for the production and storage of hydrogen will be implemented to manage the intermittent production of solar electricity and the biorefinery's need for continuous hydrogen supply.Beyond this first phase,new renewable farms may be developed by the partners for the electrolyzer,which has the capacity to produce up to 15 tonnes/d of green hydrogen.
