Lhyfe and Deutsche Bahn cooperate for the use of climate-neutral trains thanks to green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø
-
Lhyfe has built a Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production plant for DB Energie's Tübingen innovation hub
-
Production of up to 30 tons of green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø per year (corresponding to 1 MW of installed electrolysis capacity).
-
This is the first site to be installed and operated by Lhyfe in Germany.
Nantes (France) and Tübingen (Germany), 19 June 2024 – 7.30 AM CEST – Lhyfe, a global pioneer in the production of green and renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, has built and will operate a green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production plant for Deutsche Bahn in Tübingen. The electrolysis plant in the innovation hub of DB Energie, a Group subsidiary, has an annual production capacity of up to 30 tons (installed electrolysis capacity of 1 MW). The green electricity comes from Deutsche Bahn's green electricity portfolio.
At the Tübingen innovation hub, DB Energie is testing new technologies for sustainable rail energy supply, including in the "H2goesRail" project. Using the green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø produced, a climate-neutral Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø train will be put into operation this year on a test route in Baden-Württemberg - between Tübingen, Horb and Pforzheim.
"This project demonstrates the economic viability of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø solutions in the transport and mobility sector. Sustainable energy sources and innovative technologies are needed to decarbonize the transport sector. One of these technologies is Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø-powered trains, which are a clean and efficient alternative to conventional diesel-powered trains as they are virtually CO2-free. The H2goesRail project is a pioneer in the field of passenger and freight transportation," says Luc Graré, Head of Central and Eastern Europe at Lhyfe.
With this project, Lhyfe wants to gain experience for a largely autonomously operated system, as well as the direct coupling of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production with a filling station on a large scale. The commissioning of the complex system with its many different dynamics, from production to multiple compression, storage and refueling of the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, is a particular challenge. Lhyfe is taking on this challenge in order to provide Deutsche Bahn and subsequent partners with a Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production plant that can be used to test the integration of green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production into customer processes.
Lhyfe develops customized solutions throughout Europe for the construction of local production and distribution systems for green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø. The site in Tübingen is Lhyfe's first plant in Germany. Another 10 MW plant is currently being built in Schwäbisch Gmünd, which will produce up to 4 tons of green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø per day. Lhyfe aims to become a major player in the mobility and industry sector, through customer deliveries in tube trailer (bulk) in France and Germany by 2025. Several other sites throughout Europe are already under construction or being expanded. Lhyfe has been operating its first green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø site in France since the second half of 2021, and two other sites were opened in France in 2023.
About Lhyfe
Lhyfe is a European group devoted to energy transition, and a producer and supplier of green and renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø. Its production sites and portfolio of projects intend to provide access to green and renewable Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø in industrial quantities, and enable the creation of a virtuous energy model capable of decarbonising entire sectors of industry and transport.
In 2021, Lhyfe inaugurated the 1st industrial-scale green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production plant in the world to be interconnected with a wind farm. In 2022, it inaugurated the 1st offshore green Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø production pilot platform in the world. In 2023, it inaugurated its 2nd and 3rd sites, and currently has several sites under construction or expansion across Europe.
Lhyfe is represented in 12 European countries and had 195 staff at the end of December 2023. The company is listed on the Euronext market in Paris (ISIN: FR0014009YQ1 - mnemonic: LHYFE).
