Lhyfe has begun delivering renewable hydrogen to Essent - the largest energy supplier in the Netherlands.
This hydrogen is being used to power the GROHW project, one of the first renewable hydrogen projects in the Netherlands to be actually implemented.
Essent is the leading energy company in the Netherlands, supplying electricity and gas to around 2.5 million households, residential areas and businesses. Committed to the energy transition, the company is also leading a number of projects in the hydrogen sector, including the GROHW project in Deventer, the fruit of collaboration between Nefit Bosch, Essent, Firan and Witteveen+Bos. This initiative will help to develop a new green energy ecosystem and a new centre of expertise around renewable hydrogen.
Lhyfe is a producer and supplier of renewable hydrogen across Europe.
Its hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water at production sites powered by renewable electricity.
Its first plant has been producing renewable hydrogen for over four years, it now operates four production sites in France and Germany and it is developing numerous sites throughout Europe.
Luc Graré, head of central and eastern Europe at Lhyfe, said: “This first delivery to Essent marks the kick-off of our commercial activity in the Netherlands - a priority market for us - in the best possible way: with the country's leading energy supplier.
“This collaboration also paves the way for new applications of renewable hydrogen through Nefit Bosch’s development - a very good news that confirms the dynamism of the sector.
“It is therefore an important step in our mission to make renewable hydrogen widely available and to support the decarbonisation of industry. We are proud to play our part with our green renewable hydrogen and our robust supply chain, relying on a large fleet of containers of up to 40 feet to meet Essent's needs.”
