7:30 am – Lhyfe (Euronext Paris – FR0014009YQ1 – LHYFE)
one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen to decarbonize industry and mobility
announces the signing of a major contract with INOCEL covering the supply of up to 140 tonnes of green hydrogen over a period of four years for the test benches of high-power fuel cells manufactured by INOCEL
Lhyfe has been supplying green hydrogen to INOCEL’s plants in Belfort (Burgundy-Franche-Comté region) and Saint-Égrève (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region)
This green hydrogen powers the test benches of INOCEL’s fuel cells
which are the most powerful in the world (300 kW)
these fuel cells offer competitive operating costs compared to diesel
By recombining hydrogen and oxygen molecules
fuel cells generate electricity without releasing CO2 – only water
High-power fuel cells such as those currently being developed by INOCEL can meet the growing need for clean mobile and stationary electricity generation
This includes hydrogen-powered generators for off-grid sites (events
industrial facilities and buildings requiring a stable power supply (data centres
office buildings and banks) as well as for the maritime sector and heavy land mobility
This contract reinforces the joint commitment of Lhyfe and INOCEL to the energy transition
the two companies intend to promote sustainable energy solutions and accelerate the decarbonization of critical industrial sectors
particularly stationary applications and mobility
Managing Director of INOCEL: “This strategic partnership with Lhyfe guarantees us a reliable supply of green and renewable hydrogen for our test benches and production tests
It reaffirms our commitment to providing zero-emission solutions for mobile and stationary power generation and mobility applications.”
Founder and CEO of Lhyfe: “This contract marks another essential step in our mission to make green hydrogen widely available
we are contributing to the growth of high-power fuel cells which represent a major technological and sustainable advance in the stationary power generation
INOCEL is an innovative French company specializing in the design and development of high power hydrogen fuel cell systems
Its expertise includes the development of fuel cell technologies and their integration into a complete system
Thanks to its expertise and a network of strategic partners
integrated turnkey solution covering the entire value chain of mobile and stationary power generation applications: from design and manufacture to integration and marketing
Its integrated fuel cell systems ensure reliable
high-performance production of carbon-free electricity
INOCEL’s raison d’être is to meet the energy challenges of our time by offering sustainable energy and mobility solutions that are efficient and environmentally friendly
The company aims to make hydrogen energy more accessible and widely used
especially in sectors where batteries are insufficient
INOCEL has quickly positioned itself as a key player in the energy transition
INOCEL has three strategic sites: an R&D center in Grenoble
a site in Nice focusing on technology integration and a Gigafactory in Belfort
an important location in the hydrogen industry
capable of producing thousands of units per year
Lhyfe is a European group dedicated to the energy transition
and a producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen
Its production sites and portfolio of projects aim to provide access to green and renewable hydrogen in industrial quantities
and to enter into a virtuous energy model allowing the decarbonization of entire sectors of industry and mobility
Lhyfe inaugurated the world’s first industrial green hydrogen production site in direct connection with a wind farm
Lhyfe inaugurated the world’s first pilot platform for green hydrogen production at sea
it has installed three new sites and currently has several sites under construction or expansion across Europe
Lhyfe is present in 12 European countries and had 201 employees at end of December 2024
The company is listed on the Euronext market in Paris (ISIN: FR0014009YQ1 – mnemonic: LHYFE)
The three-year Technology for European iNdependence in Space Image Sensor (TENSIS) project will focus on developing advanced CMOS imaging sensors within the EU
Its objective is to establish a strategic competitive advantage for European prime contractors and equipment manufacturers while minimising reliance on critical technologies and capabilities from outside the EU
Launched on 11 February 2025 during an inauguration event at the Teledyne e2v facilities in Saint-Egrève
It will feature key technical specifications including a 24K x 16K stitched CMOS matrix of 400 MPixels
a smaller 4K x 4K stitched CMOS array will be designed and manufactured
The project comprises several industrial partners
Teledyne e2v Semiconductors SAS (France) and Teledyne Innovaciones Microelectronicas SL (Spain) will oversee the project and design the detectors
while imec (Belgium) will manage the development of the optical stack on top of the CMOS detector
Airbus Defence and Space SAS (France) will lead the development of test equipment and evaluate the performance of the detector prototypes
Alter Technology Tüv Nord (Spain) will validate the smaller 4K x 4K detector for use in a space environment
“TENSIS will result in the development of advanced image sensors for space that are high-resolution and durable against space conditions,” says Marc Iliozer
Project & Engineering Director at Teledyne e2v
“The project will help establish strategic capability in Europe and ensure independence in space technology for years to come.”
The project will run until 31 December 2027
The 24k x 16k stitched CMOS array is expected to reach Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6
with a prototype sensor tested in a relevant environment
taking it one step closer to final product development

Other posts to invest in a Solystic solution include Poste Italian acquiring 33 Soly Sort systems – a mobile robotic sorting solution and La Poste in France investing in Solystic’s container management solution Soly Move for the Roissy PIAC airport site
in 2019 PostNL chose Solystic for its Small Parcels Sorting Center project to sort and prepare delivery routes for small packages
This unique center is designed to process several hundred thousand objects per day in several thousand directions
with the possibility of extensions (the exact figures are confident at the moment)
The solution chosen is highly automated and includes Solystic’s Compact Slide Tray for sorting small packages and a fleet of Soly mobile robots to carry out the automatic handling of containers
Over the past year Solystic has also worked hard on the further development of its SOSi simulation product
which enables users to create digital twins of industrial processes
The benefit of doing this is that users can digitally visualize processes and test and adjust them to improve efficiencies
In 2019 Solystic produced a proof of concept using its SOSi solution for its partner ARaymond in France
a major player in the automobile subcontracting sector
Solystic modelled a significant part of the company’s Saint-Egrève plant
This Proof of Concept will be extended to establish a full digital twin of the plant
