Controlled Liquid Hydrogen Storage: The backbone of decentralized energy

Lhyfe (EURONEXT: LHYFE), one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for decarbonisation, is strengthening its logistics capabilities, which since 2021 have supported some sixty or so industrial and mobility players in their energy transition.

Lhyfe is thereby reinforcing its ability to further develop the European green and RFNBO hydrogen market through bulk distribution. On this occasion, the company is proud to present the key pillars of its supply chain.

Green hydrogen production and supply: key drivers of Lhyfe’s growth

In 2021, Lhyfe commissioned its first green hydrogen production site in France (Pays de la Loire), followed by two additional sites in Brittany and Occitanie. In 2025, a first site was installed in Germany (Baden-Württemberg). These four sites obtained RFNBO certification in 2025.

The company now has 21 MW of installed capacity, which is set to increase by 70% in 2026, enabling broader territorial coverage and closer proximity to customers.

Alongside its production activities, Lhyfe has developed one of the most advanced hydrogen supply operations in the European market:

• Acquisition of 84 Type IV containers, the most advanced on the market: lighter, more resistant, compliant with RFNBO-certification requirements, and able to withstanding high pressure—these containers allow more hydrogen to be transported per trip. Lhyfe now operates four container sizes and two compression levels to meet a wide range of customer needs.

For the order of its 10 new containers, Lhyfe once again placed its trust in Hexagon Purus. The two companies share a strategic industrial shareholder, Mitsui & Co., a global trading and investment company headquartered in Japan.

• 15 container storage sites secured across Europe to optimise costs and ensure reliable deliveries. 
• Partnerships with four transport providers specialising in hazardous materials transport. To date, Lhyfe has certified and trained 60 drivers for hydrogen container transport and delivery, operating both on its own sites and those of partners and clients. 
• Partnerships with third-party local producers to cover regions where Lhyfe does not yet have local production capacity. 
• Development of advanced digital tools for bulk management: Lhyfe has created a suite of innovative tools to enhance the efficiency of its European supply teams in coordinating bulk hydrogen production and distribution. These include demand forecasting, filling planning, compatibility management, production monitoring, carrier scheduling, and customer information systems. By securing and optimising these parameters, Lhyfe strengthens its ability to ensure reliable deliveries and high service quality.

Investment to support ramp-up in deliveries

In 2025, Lhyfe passed the milestone of 1,000 deliveries. The company significantly accelerated operations in France, Sweden, and Germany, averaging 55 deliveries per month to mobility and industrial customers, thereby strengthening its European footprint.

Over the year, the Group completed more than 850 deliveries in Europe, an increase of over 80% compared to 2024. Lhyfe works with a wide range of players: mobility players (such as BMW Group, TEAL Mobility, H2 MOBILITY) and industrial companies (including Karp Kneip, Essent – energy supplier for the industry), illustrating the broad spectrum of decarbonised hydrogen applications—from heavy mobility to industrial processes.

• In mobility, green hydrogen is emerging as an alternative to fossil fuels and complementary to battery electric solutions. It is particularly relevant for applications requiring long range, fast refuelling, or heavy loads (SUVs, taxis, vans, forklifts, tractors, trucks, etc.), in regions where the power grid cannot support large-scale electrification, or for vehicles operating in extreme conditions (very cold or hot climates). 
• In industry, green hydrogen is proving to be a key decarbonisation solution, replacing fossil fuels and grey hydrogen, especially in energy-intensive processes that are difficult to electrify. It is particularly suited for applications requiring high temperatures, continuous production, or hydrogen as a feedstock (chemicals, refining, steelmaking, glassmaking, etc.), as well as for industrial sites facing strong energy constraints or limited access to abundant low-carbon electricity. 

Lhyfe’s expansion of its operational and logistics capabilities gives it access to the most demanding markets—particularly the chemicals sector—which require not only high hydrogen purity but also absolute reliability and consistency of supply.

Since commissioning its first site in 2021, Lhyfe has avoided the emission of 4 million tonnes of CO2 thanks to its green hydrogen production.

Matthieu Guesné, Founder and CEO of Lhyfe: “The development of the green hydrogen supply chain is a cornerstone of the sector’s growth. The bulk market is the first to scale up—it is already enabling pioneering players to initiate their energy transition. To support them, we have been committed since 2021 to building a comprehensive, efficient, reliable, and flexible supply chain.

Beyond challenging traditional hydrogen industry practices, we have fundamentally rethought them, particularly to adapt to production based on renewable energy. It is an exciting challenge that we continue to address every day, constantly improving our model alongside our on-site projects—installed directly at customer facilities with hydrogen supplied via pipelines—and pipeline network solutions. The sector will require multiple distribution formats to meet diverse use cases, and we are ready to deliver on those needs.”
