Haropa Port and Verso Energy have signed an agreement for the installation of a plant to produce low-carbon hydrogen and synthetic fuels on Haropa Port land in Grand-Quevilly
this production plant will be set up on an area of land belonging to Haropa Port/Rouen in the town of Grand-Quevilly at the administrative boundary with Petit-Couronne
signed the site occupancy agreement at the local regional offices of Haropa Port/Rouen on November 22
the project is slated to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis and will be capable of providing a capacity of 350 MW
corresponding to an annual volume of more than 50,000 tons of hydrogen
in return for an investment of around €500 million
It is to be accompanied by a plant producing synthetic fuels using captured
and creating some 150 direct and 250 indirect jobs
The project is expected to help both secure and expand the local industrial ecosystem and according to the parties involved
it will contribute to decarbonizing industrial sites in the port area and the maritime and aviation sectors
said that the project comes as a confirmation that the Seine Axis is a new-fuels
noted that the project is totally aligned with the national strategy for the development of hydrogen and sustainable fuels as essential vectors of industrial and transport decarbonization
“Rouen is a particularly favorable location for a project of this kind
given the central position of its port industrial zone along the Seine Axis and its connections to the Trapil network for fuel delivery to end-consumers,” Huard declared
commented: “This project is absolutely a contribution to achieving the Regional Authority’s ambitions for the industrial development of Normandy and comes as one more in a long series of industrial investments on the Seine Axis
the favored location of the leading national port complex
which possesses extraordinary potential for becoming a region at the crossroads of global economic flows
making it a participant in the reindustrialization of our economy and at the same time a promoter of a more virtuous development model.”
Haropa Port awarded Engie 24 hectares (ha) of land for the development of a benchmark platform for alternative new industrial fuels embodied by the Salamandre and France KerEAUzen projects
the two projects are set to contribute to the energy transition in France and to the decarbonization of heavy mobility in Europe
and the Haropa Port award is an essential step in the development of the projects as well as the low-carbon transition of the industrial port zone (ZIP)
