What They Do
HDF Energy specializes in high-power hydrogen fuel cell technology, utilizing proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology. Their flagship product, the Renewstable® plants, allows for the storage of intermittent renewable energy in the form of hydrogen, ensuring non-intermittent electricity production 24/7. The production units range from 1 to 10 MW, offering high power density and efficiency exceeding 50% (source: clean-energy-islands.ec.europa.eu). HDF Energy targets various markets, including energy grids, marine propulsion, and industrial applications, with clients such as governments and refineries like SARA (source: hdf-energy.com).
Projects & Achievements
Among notable projects, the Cleargen project in Martinique, which was commissioned in 2019, is the world's first high-power hydrogen fuel cell installation, producing electricity from hydrogen byproduct from the SARA refinery (source: ritzau.dk). The CEOG project in French Guiana, currently under construction, is the world's first multi-MW hydrogen production park, designed to power 10,000 homes through massive renewable hydrogen storage (source: hdf-energy.com). Other advanced projects include Los Cabos in Mexico and RSB in Barbados, part of an international pipeline in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific (source: clean-energy-islands.ec.europa.eu).
Recent Developments
In February 2023, HDF Energy laid the foundation stone for its 7,000 m² gigafactory in Blanquefort, which will be the world's first factory dedicated to the mass production of multi-MW hydrogen fuel cells, with an annual capacity of 50 MW expected to reach 1 GW by 2030 (source: hydrogeneurope.eu). In April 2023, the company announced financial results for 2022, with 751 MW in development and ongoing government partnerships with Indonesia and Zimbabwe (source: hdf-energy.com). The gigafactory is a key element of HDF's reindustrialization strategy, aimed at creating local jobs and supporting exports (source: clean-energy-islands.ec.europa.eu).
