- INEOS Inovyn will invest in hydrogen purification and compression at Tavaux, France, operational by 2026.
- HyMove will establish a hydrogen distribution network for heavy-duty transport in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
- The 'ReadHy to Move' project aims to decarbonize transport, aligning with French national emission targets.
- INEOS Inovyn produces over 10,000 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen annually, equivalent to 50 million liters of diesel.
Project Overview
INEOS Inovyn and HyMove are collaborating on the 'ReadHy to Move' project to enhance hydrogen-powered transport in Eastern France. The initiative involves significant investments in hydrogen purification, compression, and distribution systems, aiming to decarbonize transport in line with French national emission reduction targets.
Investment and Infrastructure
INEOS Inovyn plans to invest in new hydrogen purification and compression systems at its Tavaux facility, with operations expected to begin by 2026. This development will provide a reliable source of high-purity, low-carbon hydrogen essential for new hydrogen networks.
Distribution Network
HyMove, a joint venture between Inthy group and Alpiq AG, will establish a hydrogen distribution network for heavy-duty transport in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. This network will facilitate the shipment of hydrogen from Tavaux, improving availability for low-carbon transport across the region.
Impact and Benefits
The 'ReadHy to Move' project is crucial for the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, one of Europe's busiest transport corridors. It will contribute to the decarbonization of freight and passenger transport, support national emission targets, and create new jobs in the hydrogen technology sector.
Production Capacity
INEOS Inovyn is Europe's largest operator of electrolysis technology, producing over 10,000 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen annually at its Tavaux site. This production is equivalent to approximately 50 million liters of diesel per year, underscoring the project's potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector.
