News of the hydrogen project follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) inked between Engie and Equinor back in February, through which they vowed to develop low carbon hydrogen projects collaboratively.
Edouard Neviaski, CEO of Engie’s Global Energy Management entity, said, “Engie is convinced that decarbonised thermal energy is required to achieve carbon neutrality in our economy, alongside renewable electricity sources.
