After the Hulot Hydrogen plan in 2018, which announced the ambition of creating a French carbon-free industrial sector, in September 2020 the State launched a national strategy that aims to make France a global player in hydrogen by 2030. The strategy, which relies on industrial offers on French territory, has already been made concrete with two calls for projects. Arnaud Leroy, Chairman of ADEME (the French environment and energy management agency), tells us more.

With a budget of 7.2 billion euros, the recent formation of a national council federating all the manufacturers concerned, and the launch of numerous calls for projects, the French hydrogen strategy is on track. The trajectory is ambitious but all the lights are green. Taking stock with Philippe Boucly, President of France Hydrogène.
