Cannes Lérins H2, Hynovar, R'HySE and HYGI in Guadeloupe are the 4 projects accredited by Capenergies that have won the "Hydrogen Territorial Ecosystems" call for projects. To accelerate the deployment of hydrogen vehicles and hydrogen production and distribution facilities in their regions, they will receive around €27 million out of a total State budget of €126 million.
A new call for projects is already scheduled for 2023 as part of the National Strategy for Low-Carbon Hydrogen and the France 2030 investment plan. It will be launched shortly, following a wide-ranging consultation of the industry currently being conducted by the Ministry of Energy Transition and the General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI).
