CAR-DATA.INFOCAR-DATA.INFOFrance, known for its leadership in nuclear and renewable energy, has set its sights on hydrogen as a key piece in its transition towards a more sustainable economy. In 2024, the hydrogen refueling station network in France remains in an early stage of development, although it has shown significant growth in recent years.
To date, the country has more than 30 operational hydrogen stations, concentrated mainly in industrial regions and metropolitan areas such as Paris, Lyon and Marseille. These stations are managed by both private companies and public initiatives, and are an integral part of pilot projects aimed at testing the viability of hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
Several major projects are underway to expand hydrogen infrastructure in France:
This consortium, made up of more than 20 companies and organizations, is working to deploy a network of 100 hydrogen stations by 2025. The goal is to facilitate the adoption of hydrogen vehicles, including cars, buses and trucks, and reduce carbon emissions in transportation.
Initiated by the company Air Liquide, this project seeks to install hydrogen stations throughout the country, with a particular focus on urban areas and heavy transport routes. Air Liquide has already opened several stations and has plans to expand its network significantly in the coming years.
In the north of France, this regional project aims to establish a hydrogen corridor connecting the main cities of the Hauts-de-France region. This corridor will not only facilitate the transport of goods in a sustainable manner, but will also boost the local economy through the creation of jobs in the hydrogen industry.
The French government has shown a strong commitment to the development of hydrogen, allocating an investment of 7.2 billion euros until 2030 for the production and distribution of green hydrogen. Future forecasts for the network of hydrogen refueling stations in France are promising:
It is expected that by 2030, France will have more than 400 hydrogen refueling stations, covering a large part of the national territory. This will include both light vehicle and heavy transport stations.
A crucial component of this expansion is the focus on the production of green hydrogen, that is, hydrogen produced from renewable sources. It is expected that by 2030, a significant portion of the hydrogen used at filling stations will come from renewable sources, aligning with the country's carbon emissions reduction goals.
France is also investing in research and development to improve the efficiency of hydrogen technologies. This includes advances in electrolyzers, hydrogen storage and distribution systems.
