Engie Cofely, a subsidiary of French utility Engie, has commissioned the country's first renewable hydrogen (H2) production facility. The facility will be located in the town of Saint-Nazaire, near Bordeaux, and is expected to produce enough H2 for about 10,000 homes. It will provide power for the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission's industrial processes and the HyWay project’s electric-hydrogen vehicle station. The facility is part of the French government's plan to generate 10% of industrial carbon-free H2 by 2023, rising to between 20% and 40% by 2028.
