The Artois Gohelle
Transport Authority positions itself
with hydrogen
The SMT AG has
attributed ENGIE the refueling of 6 hydrogen buses that will be
deployed in the spring of 2019 on the new bus line
BHNS[1], connecting Bruay- Labuissière and Auchel.
A clear and committed
environmental policy in favor of sustainable mobility: the
choice of hydrogen technology concretely illustrates the will of
elected officials for the territory covered by the SMT AG and is
part of a more global project for the development of 6 BHNS lines
(High Level Service Bus), improving the flow of the main exchange
hubs in the territory, which include Lens, Béthune, Hénin-Beaumont,
Carvin, Bruay-La-Buissière, Libercourt, Auchel. A real draw to the
territory, this innovative and exemplary mobility solution will
contribute to reinforce the new economic image in this former
mining basin in the heart of the Hauts-de-France region.
This technology will be deployed
at the future bus depot in Houdain, currently under
construction. The SMT AG will equip it with a hydrogen
refueling station capable of recharging buses equipped with fuel
cells. The future Bulle 6 line will be the first in France
exclusively operated with hydrogen buses.
This urban mobility project
constitutes a decisive step in the third industrial revolution in
the heart of the North Region - Pas-de-Calais. Hydrogen
represents an essential pillar in the energy transition and the
development of renewable energies, by nature intermittent and
unpredictable. More than a technological choice that allows bigger
environmental gains, the choice of on-site electrolysis production
favorizes the development of renewable energies by facilitating the
equilibrium of electricity grids and by permitting the valorization
of surplus production.
The experience and the expertise
acquired by ENGIE through its subsidiary GNVERT, with almost 20
years in the refueling of alternative fuels for most of the
passenger transport networks in France, have allowed it to propose
a solution that is in phase, during the entire life cycle of the
rolling stock, with the environmental issues of the territory,
while integrating the stringency levels that the Artois-Gohelle
transport authority expects for the operation and security of its
transport network. In addition, this project integrates perfectly
into the energy vision advocated by ENGIE of a world in 3D:
with energy that is decarbonated, decentralized and
digitized.
The technological choices have
also turned to national actors by selecting hydrogen production and
distribution equipment from the McPhy company, a major actor in the
French hydrogen sector which has positioned and confirmed its place
both in France and internationally.
Laurent Duporge, President of SMT
AG: "This territory, too often reduced to its
industrial past, will be the first in France to operate a line
exclusively with hydrogen buses, six to be exact! It's a
wonderful example of the choice for environmental development, a
technological choice orientated towards the future. It's up
to us to demonstrate renewal in the mining
basin."
Philippe Van Deven,
Director-General of GNVERT: "The choice for
renewable hydrogen integrates naturally into the energy transition
for passenger transport. In addition to the exemplary
environmental performance of this 'zero emission' solution,
hydrogen is the energy carrier that will allow the wider
development of renewable energies in France. All the more a real
industrial field can be built with the expertise available in
France The energy transition isn't a constraint, it's an
opportunity!"
Pascal
Mauberger, Chairman and CEO of McPhy: "We would
like to thank ENGIE for its continued confidence, allowing us to
set up, in Hauts-de-France, the first McPhy station for hydrogen
buses. Thanks to state-of-the-art research and innovation and
a first-rate industrial infrastructure, McPhy provides its
expertise for the production and distribution of hydrogen.
Our McLyzer electrolyzer can produce clean hydrogen on site,
intended for the supply of a large capacity McFilling with a high
service rate. The transportation sector is the midst of
a revolution. By opting for hydrogen mobility, the SMT AG
conciliates user comfort for its passengers, service continuity,
and the participation in reducing air pollution and improving
public health."
About the Artois Gohelle Transport Authority (SMT
AG)
The SMT
Artois-Gohelle is what is called an organizing authority for
mobility (OAM). The zone of this public institution
encompasses the 150 municipalities that make up the agglomerations
of de Lens - Liévin, Hénin - Carvin et Béthune - Bruay -
Artois-Lys-Romane.
The sixth urban
transport zone in France, the SMT Artois-Gohelle oversees the Urban
Transport Plan (UTP), the TADAO bus network, school transportation
and more globally, the policies of transportation for its
territory.
The SMT AG
develops and organizes the TADAO network, operated through the PSD
(Public Service Delegation). Similarly, the Bulles project (6
high level service bus lines), as well as all the projects linked
to transportation for the territory, are at the initiative and
under the responsibility of SMT AG.
Striving to make
constant improvements to transportation services, to adapt to
upcoming changes and to facilitate mobility for all, the elected
representatives of SMT AG are focused on territorial planning,
improving the quality of life, ensuring accessibility for all and
sustainable development, to truly make public transportation a
second nature.
We are a global
energy and services group with three core businesses: low-carbon
power generation, including natural gas and renewable energy,
energy infrastructures and customer solutions. Driven by our
ambition to contribute to a harmonious progress, we take up major
global challenges such as the fight against global warming, access
to energy for all, or mobility, and offer our private customers,
businesses and communities energy production solutions and services
that reconcile individual interests and collective issues. Our low
carbon, integrated, high-performance and sustainable offers are
based on digital technologies. Beyond energy, they facilitate the
development of new uses and promote new ways for life and work. Our
ambition is driven every day by each of our 150,000 employees in 70
