At present, making France’s 0.9 million tonnes of hydrogen per year from fossil fuels results in 9 Mt of CO2 emissions. France’s hydrogen plan announced in 2018 has been fleshed out with over 150 projects, and EdF has bought into an electrolyser manufacturer Hynamics. The new strategy focuses on three objectives with a €7 billion budget: install enough electrolysers to make a significant contribution to decarbonising the economy – 6.5 GW by 2030, develop clean mobility particularly for heavy vehicles, and build an industrial sector creating jobs and technological mastery.LucidCatalyst , Missing link to a livable climate: How hydrogen-enabled synthetic fuels can help deliver the Paris goals , any major step will require far more clean hydrogen than can be produced with renewables. Hence a new generation of advanced modular reactors will be required to produce enough zero-carbon fuel to displace the 100 million barrels of oil that are currently consumed around the world each day. Using advanced modular reactors for electrolysis initially and then for high-temperature steam electrolysis, the projected cost would be dramatically less than trying to rely on renewables alone.France , Hydrogen production and uses
