H2V and Hy2gen join forces to build New e-SAF plant in France

H2V and Hy2Gen, prominent players in sustainable energy solutions, have united their expertise to establish a pioneering production unit for e-SAF (synthetic aviation fuels). This collaborative venture marks a significant stride towards enhancing eco-friendly aviation practices. Situated strategically in the industrial-port zone of Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône), the project is poised to revolutionize the aviation industry's approach to fuel production. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, the partnership aims to address pressing environmental concerns while meeting the aviation sector's growing demand for cleaner energy alternatives. This initiative embodies a commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship, shaping the future of aviation fuel production.

Alexis Martinez, director of H2V, characterizes the project unveiled on June 12 in collaboration with Hy2Gen as an additional component of the second phase of their initiative. H2V, specializing in green hydrogen production, has partnered with the sustainable fuels producer to incorporate a production facility for e-SAF (synthetic aviation fuel) into their planned installation in Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône). This partnership, operating as a temporary consortium, aims to establish a production capacity of 50,000 tonnes of e-SAF by 2030 on the approximately forty hectares of land allocated within the industrial-port zone.

H2V is a company specializing in the production of green hydrogen. It is committed to advancing sustainable energy solutions and plays a significant role in promoting environmentally friendly practices within the energy sector.
