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
