Emil’Hy Project: €20 Million from Europe for the Conversion of a Coal-Fired Power Station

Supported by GazelÉnergie, the Emil’Hy project in Europe has been selected by the European Commission under the European Interconnection Facility.

The project, which has undergone consultation in Saint-Avold (Moselle), involves the installation of hydrogen production units using water electrolysis at the Émile Huchet power station site. The goal is to produce 56,000 tonnes of renewable, low-carbon hydrogen per year. This hydrogen will be integrated into the MosaHYc network, a project led by NaTran (formerly GRTgaz) across the Greater Region, which includes France, Germany, and Luxembourg.

GazelÉnergie is thrilled with this European support, which “marks a significant step forward for the Emil’Hy project after the initial consultation and the submission of applications for administrative approval in 2024.” “This is a positive signal and confirmation that our commitment to a regional hydrogen policy since 2020 has been decisive,” says Franck Leroy, President of the Grand Est region, with satisfaction.
