HDF Energy (Hydrogène de France) announced the inauguration of the world’s first plant to manufacture 1MW+ fuel cells. This industrial site is dedicated to the decarbonization of heavy maritime and rail mobility, as well as the production of electricity for public power grids. With 80% of its production destined for export, the factory is also stimulating the local economy by creating jobs, thereby contributing to the reindustrialization and industrial sovereignty of Europe.
The plant was inaugurated on Thursday 30th May 2024 in Blanquefort (near Bordeaux, France) by Damien Havard, CEO and founder of HDF Energy, and Hanane El Hamraoui, Deputy CEO and VP Industry, in the presence of local public authorities.
HDF Energy’s industrial site will produce fuel cells using PEM (proton exchange membrane) technology, which is already used in light mobility (cars and buses) worldwide: this technology is recognized for its efficiency, durability and technological maturity.
PEM fuel cells are powerful, compact and emission-free, making them ideally suited to heavy mobility and electricity generation.
