1 ALPStore Technical Symposium «Storing energy in Hydrogen: why and how» Belfort, March 26th 2014 Overview of hydrogen based energy projects in France Jean-Marc Le Canut, INEVA-CNRT

2 The French initiative in H2 projects Nord-Pas-de-Calais Bretagne Lorraine Pays-de-la-Loire Franche-Comté Rhône-Alpes Midi-Pyrénées PACA

3 Recent developments in France Electrical grid support Valorisation of renewable energies

4 The Myrte project Storing energy from renewable energy in Corsica. Investigation of the potential of H2 for providing energy to islands. France has a very large maritime territory. H2 is produced by water electrolysis using electricity produced by solar panels 3700 m2 / 560 kwc PV. 200 kw electrolyser. Storage of H2 and O kw fuel cell.

5 The Janus project In summer, cities located on the Mediterranean coast see their population increasing by a large factor (e.g. x 10). This fact as a large impact on the energy demand. In this project, Areva uses electricity from solar panels to feed the Greenenergy Box to provide energy to buildings or back-up power in case of power interruption. The Greenenergy Box is a modular concept (50 to 500 kw) and can store from 0.2 to 2 MWh of energy.

6 Recent developments in France Power to gas

7 The GRHYD project Led by GDF-SUEZ, 12 partners Power to gas : Grid management by injection of H2 in NG for decarbonizing energy Localized in Dunkerque 3 markets targeted Optimization/valorization of renewable energy New gas for sustainable cities Hythane fuel for fleets (buses, etc.)

8 Recent developments in France Energy storage

9 The Hydor project Test of energy storage from electricity generated by a coal power plant. French power plant Emile Huchet in Moselle operated by E.ON Storage of H2 in a solid matrix provided by McPhy energy. Small scale test : 4 kg of H2

10 Recent developments in France Light duty vehicles

11 F-City H 2 : FCH urban vehicle Heavy quadricycle with a FCH range extender (Michelin) French-Swiss project 1 st approval of a H 2 vehicle in France (15 December 2011)

12 MobyPost : Deployment of 10 FCH vehicles for La Poste FCH-JU 2009 funded project involving 9 partners Deployment of 2 fleets of 5 La Poste vehicles on 2 postal sites in Franche-Comté H 2 and fuel cell concept solar top wheels. H 2 locally produced by solar panels and water electrolysis.

13 Recent developments in France Vehicles

14 MOBILHyTEst-1 : Test of HyKangoo by La Poste in Franche-Comté Electrical vehicle Kangoo ZE (Renault) modified by adding a FCH range extender (SymbioFCell) 5 kw FC, 1.8 kg of H2, autonomy doubled (300 km) Test of 3 HyKangoo on 2 postal sites in Franche-Comté. The experimentation will start on the 2 nd semester of 2014 Next step : MOBILHyTEst-2. Experimentation extended to other La Poste s vehicles (high duty vehicles 3,5 t) and to other captive fleet s operators. Objective : Clean delivery in down town centres.

15 Recent developments in France Forklifts

16 Air Liquide: H 2 stations for forklifts Air Liquide s logistic platform, Vatry (near Reims) Refuelling of FCH forklifts, started on January 2012 HyPusion : Joint agreement between Plug Power and Axane/Air Liquide Hydrogen Energy to provide FC systems for forklifts. IKEA s logistic platform, Saint-Quentin-Fallavier (near Lyon) Initial deployment : fleet of 20 FCH forklifts Project started on March 2013

17 Recent developments in France Maritime applications

18 Zero CO 2 : a hybrid PEMFC sailboat 25 kw PEMFC system LiFePO 4 batteries : 15 kwh 10.5 kg of H2@35 MPa: 350 kwh 4 partners : CEA, Shypyard Cie RM, Joseph Fourier University, Floralis Sailboat ready for sea testing in 2010 First results obtained : the autonomy at 15 kw reaches 10 h with H2, with an additional 2 h with batteries.

19 Developments in Pays-de-la-Loire MOST H FCH electric boat 10 passengers ICAM, Alca Torda, etc. Demonstrated NavHybus Electrosolar FCH fuel cell boat for urban areas Projected SHyPER Study of HFC integration into commercial fishery fleet Projected
