- Lhyfe SA is an independent producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen dedicated to decarbonizing industrial processes and heavy mobility. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Nantes, France, the company designs, develops, builds, finances, and operates decentralized, modular green hydrogen production facilities directly connected to renewable power sources such as onshore and offshore wind farms, solar photovoltaic installations, and hydroelectric facilities.
The company provides clean energy solutions and services comprising: bulk renewable green hydrogen gas supplied in high-pressure mobile tube trailers and storage containers for distribution to refueling networks and industrial off-takers; tailored on-site hydrogen generation units and turnkey water-electrolysis plant installations; end-to-end engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPC) services for clean hydrogen infrastructure; continuous operation, monitoring, and maintenance services for production assets; renewable electricity sourcing, grid connection, and power purchase agreement (PPA) integration; and Lhyfe Heroes, a proprietary digital ecosystem and procurement platform designed to assist fleet managers, vehicle manufacturers, and infrastructure developers in deploying hydrogen mobility solutions. The company serves public transit authorities, heavy-duty transport and logistics fleets, municipal waste collection operators, maritime and railway transport systems, and carbon-intensive industrial clients across the chemical, steel, manufacturing, and food processing industries.
Lhyfe operates internationally with development offices, commercial subsidiaries, and project sites throughout Europe, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, and Denmark.
Recent company developments include the ramp-up and commercial operation of multiple modular production sites across France, such as those in Bouin, Bessières, and Buléon, alongside the construction and commissioning of production facilities in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany. In the offshore sector, Lhyfe successfully concluded extended testing on Sealhyfe, the world’s first offshore green hydrogen production pilot, and is spearheading the European Commission-supported HOPE (Hydrogen Offshore Production Europe) consortium project in the North Sea off the coast of Belgium. Additionally, Lhyfe has entered strategic alliances and long-term hydrogen supply agreements with partners including Mitsui & Co., EDP Renewables, Deutsche Bahn, and HYVIA, while securing substantial non-dilutive grant funding under the European Innovation Fund, Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI), and the France 2030 national investment plan to accelerate the buildout of its multi-megawatt European production pipeline.
