Eastern France is convinced that hydrogen is essential for reconciling climate action with industrial ambition. It makes the development of the carbon-free hydrogen sector a priority. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

The ambition of Eastern France<\/h3>\n
\n

To offer clean transport and logistics solutions and 100% decarbonized energy to industries that would set up in Eastern France in the coming years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n <\/clipPath>\n <\/defs>\n <\/svg>\n \n \n \n \n <\/clipPath>\n <\/defs>\n <\/svg>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This ambition is supported at the European level and by financing from France to more than \u20ac7 billion <\/strong>earmarked for the hydrogen sector as part of the France 2030 Investment Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EASTERN FRANCE, A EUROPEAN HYDROGEN CORRIDOR<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eastern France and its many industrial players have managed to take the turn of the hydrogen transition. By capitalizing on resources, skills, and major initiatives, the territory is now positioned as a European hydrogen corridor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It relies on several major assets to build this project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Geographical location and infrastructure (former gas pipelines converted into hydrogen pipelines) that guarantee a Europe-wide transmission and distribution capacity.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Availability of resources for decarbonized hydrogen production.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Development of expertise in this field .<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Engagement of key industrial players and projects for the sector.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    EFFICIENT LOCATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE HYDROGEN INDUSTRY<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The geographical positioning of Eastern France is a major asset for the industrial-scale development of the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bordered by four major European industrial countries and positioned at the crossroads of four TEN-T corridors<\/strong>, Eastern France benefits from efficient transport infrastructures adapted to the transport of hydrogen<\/strong>, including access to the Rhine (70% of European river traffic).<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This location and wealth of infrastructure allows to serve the French market and to consider a European-scale distribution for its hydrogen production<\/strong>. This European dimension of the sector is already a reality with the creation of the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG): <\/strong>Grande Region Hydrogen (GRH)<\/strong><\/a> between Eastern France, the German Region of Saarland and Luxembourg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As the cradle of French industry, the region has also built a state-of-the-art industrial ecosystem<\/a> that ranks second among France\u2019s industrial centers. Automotive, railway, agro-industry, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy, . . . are dynamic clusters bringing together large groups, mid-caps and SMEs. Due to this strategic positioning, several very important logistics platforms are located in Eastern France. These numerous industries and the region\u2019s dynamic logistics sector will provide new players with guaranteed opportunities on an industrial scale.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
