IMAGHyNE : Investment to Maximise the Ambition for green Hydrogen in Europe

Country
France

IMAGHyNE will pave the way for the deployment of a large-scale renewable hydrogen (H2) economy in the Auvergne- Rhône-Alpes region, fully integrated in the energy system and addressing the needs of high emitting sectors. IMAGHyNE covers the entire value-chain : H2 production, transport, storage, and usages for mobility, industry and energy. An ambitious replication strategy is also planned.

Lead developer Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region
Project partner

Overarching / General

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region itself is the inititator and coordinator of the project
