The hydrogen stations and hydrants market in France refers to the economic activity related to the production, sale and rental of hydrogen stations and hydrants in France. These are hydrogen storage or filling stations, with the most common pressure being 700 bar, and sometimes 350 bar.
In Europe, the market has recently experienced strong growth, thanks in particular to the fact that the sector benefits from government support schemes, which amount to a total of around 25 billion euros. In France, initiatives have multiplied, particularly as the industry has benefited from the €7 billion France Relance plan and the €2 billion France 2030 plan.
EDF operates hydrogen charging stations (Hynamics), Air Liquide has installed new ones, and Engie is aiming to install 50 by 2025. In addition to the major industrial groups, market players also include specialized manufacturers of hydrogen charging stations: Atawey, McPhy and HRS (Hydrogen Refueling Solutions), in particular, are gradually gaining ground.
France is also a major hydrogen player on the world stage: in September 2022, in Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique), a company inaugurated the world's first offshore platform capable of producing hydrogen at sea. The company, based in Nantes, France, Lhyfe, has set its sights on mass production with this platform, which produces hydrogen from seawater using energy supplied by wind turbines
The challenge for the sector in the near future will be to adapt supply to growing demand , while reducing maintenance costs.
