TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Air Liquide
announce their decision to create an equally owned joint venture to
develop a network of hydrogen stations, geared towards heavy duty
vehicles on major European road corridors. This initiative will
help facilitate access to hydrogen, enabling the development of its
use for goods transportation and further strengthening the hydrogen
sector.
The partners aim to deploy more than 100 hydrogen stations on
major European roads - in France, Benelux and Germany - in the
coming years. These stations, under the TotalEnergies brand, will
be located on major strategic corridors.
This agreement will lead to the creation of a major player in
hydrogen refueling solutions and contribute to the decarbonization
of road transportation in Europe. The two companies will combine
their know-how and expertise in infrastructure, hydrogen
distribution and mobility:
- TotalEnergies will bring its expertise in the operation and
management of stations networks and the distribution of energies to
BtoB customers;
- Air Liquide will contribute with its expertise in technologies
and its mastery of the entire hydrogen value chain.
The joint venture, which will be jointly managed by
TotalEnergies and Air Liquide, will invest, build and operate these
stations, as well as procure hydrogen from the market and dispense
it to its transport customers.
"Following the recent signature of a partnership for the
production of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen on our Grandpuits
Zero Crude Platform, we are pleased to once again join forces with
Air Liquide and continue our common efforts to decarbonize
mobility. As pioneers in hydrogen mobility, we are convinced of the
necessity to start building now a heavy-duty network that will
benefit our customers" says Thierry Pflimlin, President Marketing
& Services, TotalEnergies. "This new partnership with Air
Liquide will enable us to continue our development across the
entire hydrogen value chain."
Matthieu Giard, Vice President and Executive Committee Member of
the Air Liquide Group, supervising the Hydrogen activities,
underlines: "Hydrogen offers clear benefits for heavy duty
mobility. To promote its widespread use, it is imperative to
accelerate the development of refueling infrastructures and to
offer vehicle manufacturers and transport operators a sufficiently
dense network of stations. It is precisely the ambition of this
joint venture, which will benefit from the complementary expertise
of Air Liquide and TotalEnergies. As a leader for over 60 years and
with unique know-how and technologies, Air Liquide is a major
player to accelerate and scale up the development of hydrogen, a
key element for the emergence of a low-carbon society."
The two partners plan to establish their joint venture in 2023,
subject to the finalization of the appropriate contractual
documentation and to the receipt of the necessary regulatory
approvals.
