Civil engineering is set to start at the end of February for the 6,800m² site in the Morbihan administrative region. The project is expected to produce up to 2t/d of hydrogen using electrolysis powered by a windfarm adjacent to the site. Lhyfe anticipates offtake primarily from local customers. As part of the Great West Hydrogen Valley initiative, the project will supply under a ten-year contract two refuelling stations operated by Hygo—founded by French firms Morbihan Energies and Engie Solutions in 2020—in the town
