Haffner Energy with its HYNOCA® solution, based on its unique biomass thermolysis technology, has been chosen by a consortium of industrial players to equip NedE’Hy. This ambitious project for the production and distribution of green hydrogen from sustainable agroforestry biomass residues is supported by a consortium of local players led by car dealer Nedey Automobiles, and will be based in Brognard (Doubs). This process, developed and mastered by Haffner Energy, is the main technological block of the future site.
This project for a green hydrogen production and distribution station was submitted to ADEME for financial support as part of the call for territorial hydrogen ecosystem projects (EcosysH2). Indeed, the new version of this call for projects, launched last May and endowed with a budget of 175 million euros, now offers projects for the production of renewable hydrogen from sustainable biomass the opportunity to apply for government support as part of France 2030. The consortium of industrialists includes mainly local players such as Nedey, future distributor of the green hydrogen produced by the station, Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération*, a regional player committed to the region’s energy transition, and the Swiss group Corbat, a player in the wood industry and producer of locally sourced biomass. Alongside them, other local authorities and regional SMEs have expressed their interest in joining the consortium or using the green hydrogen produced.
Their approach highlights the possibility for players from a wide range of sectors to work together towards a common ambition: to create and supply green hydrogen to a new local ecosystem free of fossil fuels.
The advantage of this location is not only its proximity to the Corbat Group sawmill: many industrial players are Hydrogen consumers in the Technoland business park. The plant will also be located 150m from the A36 freeway exit. The Bourgogne Franche-Comté region is home to many innovative industrial players in the hydrogen and mobility sector.
* The Agglomération has committed to acquiring refuse collection vehicles and 7 hydrogen-powered buses to be fuelled on site.
