ENGIE and ArianeGroup team up to develop renewable liquid hydrogen

Case Studies

Information

ENGIE and ArianeGroup have announced the signing of a cooperation agreement in the field of renewable liquid hydrogen to speed up the decarbonisation of heavy-duty and long-distance transportation. Renewable liquid hydrogen is a zero-emissions alternative to fossil fuels and an answer to the specific storage and endurance requirements of sectors such as maritime and rail transport and aviation. ENGIE and ArianeGroup will therefore leverage their expertise and cutting-edge technologies in hydrogen to: - develop and test optimised liquefaction technology with the development of a hydrogen liquefier at ArianeGroup's industrial facility in Vernon (France); - then develop a range of products and services on the liquid hydrogen line, primarily for maritime and inland waterway applications. For more than forty years, ArianeGroup has been developing expertise in liquid hydrogen-based propulsion systems and related ground facilities. It employs over a thousand staff in France and Germany who work daily on hydrogen technologies. ArianeGroup also operates Europe's largest hydrogen test centre at its facility in Vernon, France.
EngieENGIE is accelerating the Decarbonization of  the Mining Industry ENGIE relies on a broad portfolio of expertise to provide the mining industry with a complete range of services, combining technical, economic and environmental performance. We associate know-how in many technical engineering areas to support greenfield and brownfield projects, to provide green, competitive energy supply and improved performance of the mining operations. In line with the low-carbon economy and social responsibility targets, ENGIE also proposes additional solutions to decarbonize mining activities and facilitate a sustainable integration of mining projects in local communities and environment. ENGIE also supports industrial actors in their integration of new technologies or their investment in digital transformation by proposing innovative solutions. ENGIE invites you to be part of our open innovation approach. ENGIE is the Renewable Hydrogen Economy Enabler  ENGIE is a front-runner in the development of an industrial-scale hydrogen economy worldwide.  Our ambition is to support the decarbonization of industrial and mobility applications.  With more than 200 experts fully dedicated to hydrogen, we are the long-term partner for the industry, phasing projects from development to operation.  We are already active, from Inception to Construction, in 70 industrial green hydrogen projects (with 20 projects > 50MW) in 10 countries and aim by 2030 to develop and operate:  • 4 GW of green hydrogen capacity,  • 700 km of dedicated hydrogen networks,  • 1 TWh of storage capacity,  • More than 100 refueling stations.  Through our hub strategy, we have a unique positioning and value proposition to unlock the full potential of renewables.  Our presence along the entire H2 value chain helps us develop a wide range of scalable and replicable solutions.  Specifically, for the Mining sector, green hydrogen can be used as a fuel for the heavy-duty mobility applications, such as mining trucks, locomotives and ore carriers. It can also be used to produce heat and to act as a reduction agent, within mineral processing, such as the production of Aluminium and Steel among others. Furthermore, it can be used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals used in the mine such as ammonia, hydrogen peroxide for example. And last but not least, by having an integrated hydrogen infrastructure within the mining ecosystem, it will also provide storage and flexibility to its electrical system, enabling its 24x7 decarbonization, while ensuring a reliable power supply.
