Hy2gen is a world-leading company in developing, financing, building, and operating plants for RFNBO-certified hydrogen production. The LOI lays the foundation for collaboration between Plug Power and Hy2gen to advance hydrogen use in southern France. Plug will support the transport and distribution of hydrogen produced at Sunrhyse and continue expanding its turnkey hydrogen forklift solutions for logistics bases across the region.
The LOI builds on Plug and Hy2gen's growing collaboration across Europe and North America, including Hy2gen's Project Courant in Québec, Canada, which includes a large-scale electrolyzer and aims to reach Final Investment Decision before 2027. Together, the companies are developing a global framework for renewable hydrogen production and distribution to accelerate the energy transition across key international markets.
“Expanding RFNBO-certified hydrogen production in France marks another important step in Plug's European growth strategy,” said Jose Luis Crespo, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Plug. “With the Sunrhyse project, we're supporting the development of local hydrogen ecosystems that can serve logistics, transport, and industrial users across southern France while advancing the region's decarbonization goals.”
“Sunrhyse represents a major milestone in France's hydrogen transition,” said Cyril Dufau-Sansot, CEO, Hy2gen. “Through this partnership with Plug Power, we are demonstrating how renewable hydrogen can scale quickly and provide a foundation for long-term, sustainable growth.”
Plug's contribution to the Sunrhyse project reinforces the company's broader European strategy, which includes ongoing hydrogen production and supply operations in Germany and the Netherlands. Together, Plug and Hy2gen are paving the way for a more connected and resilient hydrogen network across Europe.
