GH2 plans 300 MW of electrolysers for eFuel project in France

French green hydrogen plants developer GH2 recently announced it will triple the electrolysis capacity of a planned eFuel production facility on the Atlantic coast in France to 300 MW.

The company said in a statement that it has agreed on the eventual expansion of the GH2 Ambes project on the Ambes peninsula in a new deal with the Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux.

According to the announcement, the increased scale of the project will be accompanied by a capital hike with interested investors. No further details were disclosed with regard to this transaction.

Over the next 12 months, the firm will seek to finalise advanced engineering studies and hopes to take the final investment decision (FID) on the project in 2024. Commissioning is planned for 2027.

GH2 noted that the green hydrogen produced at the new site will be used directly for the local production of eFuel for industry and mobility users.
