H4 Marseille Fos, a joint venture of Hy2gen France and H2V, has signed a strategic partnership with EDF to secure power supply for the first Euro-Mediterranean e-SAF project. The agreement includes a ten-year nuclear power supply contract, marking EDF's first such deal with a synthetic fuel producer.
Starting in 2032, the facility will produce 75,000 tonnes of e-SAF annually, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 84%. The project aligns with the EU's objective of achieving a 10% e-SAF share in aviation fuels by 2040 and supports France's hydrogen strategy.
The reliance on a diverse, low-carbon electricity mix from renewable and nuclear sources is critical for RFNBO certification and ensuring a stable energy supply for the production process. This partnership enhances Europe's fuel resilience by linking local demand with globally sourced renewable resources.
