The French government has allocated €99.84 million in aid to Gen-Hy, a start-up focusing on hydrogen technologies, to support the construction of a facility in Allenjoie, Doubs. The facility will specialize in membranes and electrolysers and is projected to produce up to 350 electrolysers annually, ranging from 100kW to 2MW. This initiative is part of the national effort to create 8,000 jobs in the hydrogen sector by 2030. Gen-Hy, a spin-off of FlexFuel Energy Development, received funding following the revision of France's hydrogen roadmap. The European Commission has approved this aid under the IPCEI programmes to foster industrial innovation. The project will benefit from regional support in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, which is also developing hydrogen-specific training programs to meet sector needs. Gen-Hy's emphasis on using locally sourced materials aligns with sustainable practices, with Saint-Gobain and Eiffage Group as key backers. The project symbolizes France's progress towards a sustainable hydrogen production chain, showcasing collaboration between national and European strategies.
