Off the coast of Le Croisic, at Centrale Nantes’ offshore pilot site, SEM-REV, Lhyfe has developed the first offshore Â鶹¹ÙÍø production facility in the world. Lhyfe and Central Nantes had an ambitious goal: to make offshore renewable Â鶹¹ÙÍø become a reality, by demonstrating the reliability of an electrolyser at sea.

The offshore pilot site met all the necessary conditions – including the presence of MREs and strict environmental criteria – to validate the offshore Â鶹¹ÙÍø production technology before considering large-scale industrial deployment in 2024. DNV’s energy and risk management specialists were able to carry out safety studies to identify the main risks.

This project, a real catalyst for the development of a major Â鶹¹ÙÍø production industry, is already supported by the Pays de la Loire Region, the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique and the Comité Stratégique de Filière (CSF) des industriels de la mer.
