The Centre-Val de Loire region in France has taken a significant step towards promoting sustainable energy with the inauguration of the first green hydrogen station in the area. Situated at Sorigny’s Isoparc business park, the €2 million facility leverages innovative hybrid compression technology to produce hydrogen efficiently. Developed by Eifhytec, the station's advanced compression system combines mechanical and thermochemical methods to optimize energy usage and reduce space requirements. Managed by the Touraine Vallée de l’Indre Community of Communes, the station supports the Hy’Touraine renewable hydrogen initiative. With a daily production capacity of 200 kilograms, the station is strategically located near the A10 motorway and within close proximity to Tours, ensuring convenient access for local hydrogen vehicle users. This infrastructure complements the existing fleet of hydrogen-powered bicycles, heavy vehicles, and waste collection trucks, further advancing the region's commitment to sustainable transportation and energy solutions.
