AdvancedH2Valley

Country
France

AdvancedH2Valley is a small-scale hydrogen valley that aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable hydrogen along the Atlantic coastline by 2025. In the Valley, hydrogen will be used for industrial applications and for transports. Green Hydrogen will be used for an overall fleet of 29 waterborne and land vehicles: four different transport modes fueled by hydrogen (light duty vehicles, heavy duty vehicles, tractors to manage logistics in ports and a ferry boat) will be envisaged.
