Its role Funder
The Hauts-de-France Region is a French administrative region located in the north of the country, covering five departments including Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Somme, Aisne and Oise. It functions as a public body with responsibilities for regional planning, economic development, transport infrastructure and environmental policies.
In the context of the chemical and energy industries, the region actively supports initiatives in sustainable technologies, including green hydrogen production. It provides financial grants to projects that contribute to the energy transition and local industrial growth, such as the Lhyfe Croixrault 5 MW green hydrogen plant in the Somme department.
The region operates from its capital city of Lille and is governed by an elected council. Its activities include fostering partnerships with companies in the mobility, industry and energy sectors to promote low-carbon solutions and grid stability through renewable energy integration.
As part of France's decentralized governance, Hauts-de-France collaborates with national authorities and European programs to enhance its position in emerging clean energy markets while maintaining its traditional strengths in manufacturing and logistics.
