A consortium of partners will develop a low-carbon hydrogen hub at Port-La Nouvelle, France, to enhance the region’s role in the energy transition.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Occitanie Region, DEME Concessions NV, Euroports and Teréga will jointly establish the French hydrogen and CO2 hub.
They plan to develop port and logistics infrastructure designed to accommodate future flows of clean energy, such as hydrogen, alongside other alternative fuels. H2 View understands that the partners will work in close coordination with local stakeholders.
The port concessionaire, SEMOP Port-La Nouvelle, has begun major deep-water extension projects, including the expansion of port depth to 15.9 metres to facilitate larger vessels. These additions are expected to be operational by 2026 and increase the port’s hydrogen import capacity to around two million tonnes per year.
