Air Liquide will invest €80m to build and operate a 250,000 tonnes per annum hydrogen plant at TotalEnergies’ La Mède facility, using recycled biogenic by-products for production.

Announced today (25th Nov) with the signing of a long-term contract, the project will avoid the emission of approximately 130,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year at the biorefinery. The hydrogen produced at the site will primarily support the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), in line with TotalEnergies’ decarbonisation objectives.

More widely, the project will contribute to the emergence of a new renewable hydrogen ecosystem in the Fos-sur-Mer area, a major industrial basin for Air Liquide in France.

It is hoped that the new hydrogen production unit will be operational in 2028.
