Aiming for low-carbon hydrogen

Electrolytic hydrogen to decarbonize the economy.
Aiming for low-carbon hydrogen
Today, generating hydrogen requires 95% of fossil energy. To achieve renewable and low-carbon generation, Hynamics, an EDF group's subsidiary, is using the electrolysis of water, in collaboration with McPhy, a hydrogen specialist. Concurrently, EDF’s R&D has developed an electrolyser test platform to assess electrolysers from hydrogen key players. This will allow researchers to carry out tests, under real conditions and with multiple scenarios.

Finding a way to generate renewable and low-carbon hydrogen is essential for the energy transition, and the method making use of water electrolysis using low-carbon electricity meets this challenge. It will notably promote the transformation of industry and heavy goods transport. Hynamics, a subsidiary of the EDF group, is now developing turnkey solutions for the generation and distribution of hydrogen from electrolysis.

The electrolyser test platform, located at an EDF’s R&D site in the Ile-de-France region, enables researchers to obtain tangible results in real-life situations, working within specific constraints and in complete safety. This test platform is also connected to the experimental platform for testing electrical solutions, Concept Grid. Low-carbon hydrogen generation trials will therefore benefit from electricity from different renewable energy sources, some of which come from prospective energy mixes.
