Cannes Lérins Hydrogen

The Communauté d'Agglomération Cannes Pays de Lérins, alongside Banque des Territoires, GREEN Energy 06 and Hynamics, has chosen to develop low-carbon hydrogen mobility, helping to create a new economic model at the cutting edge of innovation and energy efficiency. The Project Company, made up of the four partners, will install and operate a hydrogen production and distribution station using water electrolysis in Cannes. These production and distribution units will enable the 41 hydrogen-powered buses of the Communauté d'Agglomération to be supplied with low-carbon hydrogen by the end of 2025.

Hynamics is a subsidiary of the EDF Group that offers a turnkey solution to the industrial and mobility sectors for the production, storage and distribution of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen. It manages the investment, operation and maintenance of production and distribution facilities. Hynamics targets the sectors with the highest CO₂ emissions – industry and transport – and is involved in the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Low-carbon, renewable hydrogen is produced by water electrolysis, a technology that emits no CO₂ when the electricity used comes from decarbonised sources. In France, Hynamics operates five stations dedicated to heavy-duty transport. To follow our news, visit our LinkedIn Hynamics page.
