Partners in the GRHYD project inaugurate France's first
Power-to-Gas demonstrator
Monday, June 11,
2018. Patrice Vergriete (Mayor of Dunkirk and President of the
Dunkirk Urban Community), Léon Devloies (Mayor of
Cappelle-la-Grande and Vice President of the Dunkirk Urban
Community), Isabelle Kocher (Chief Executive Officer of ENGIE) and
Fabrice Boissier (Managing Director of ADEME) have inaugurated in
Cappelle-la-Grande (Nord department) the first Power-to-Gas
demonstrator in France, in the presence of the partners involved in
the project. The GRHYD* project, launched in 2014, tests the
injection of hydrogen into the region's natural gas distribution
grid to meet residents' needs in terms of heating, domestic hot
water and cooking. This innovative initiative is earmarked for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020, as wished by the
French government. GRHYD is a tangible illustration of the Hydrogen
Plan, which the government launched on June 1, 2018.
The GRHYD project has a key role
in the strategy of the Hauts-de-France region's 3rd
industrial evolution, under the coordination of ENGIE, represented
by its ENGIE Lab CRIGEN research center linked up with 10 other
partners: AREVA H2Gen, CEA, CETIAT, Dunkirk Urban Community, ENGIE
Ineo, GNVERT, GRDF, INERIS, McPhy, and STDE. The demonstrator
receives the support of the French state as part of the Future
Investments Program run by ADEME (French Environment and Energy
Management Agency), and accredited by the
Tenerrdis competitive industry cluster. Its inauguration marks the
start of the demonstration with the injection of the first hydrogen
molecules into the local natural gas grid, at a level of 6% to
begin with (and up to a maximum of 20%), for supplying the 100
households and the health center's boiler in the "Petit Village"
district of Cappelle-la-Grande. The aim of this two-year phase is
to validate the technical and economic relevance of converting
electricity into a new gas via a combination of hydrogen and
natural gas.
Power-to-Gas is a solution for the
future for transforming electricity from renewable energy into
hydrogen gas. Once converted, this energy can be stored and
transported in the natural gas grid. And it has enormous potential:
ADEME assesses the potential energy of hydrogen produced from
electricity via Power-to-Gas in France by 2035 at around 30 TWh per
year.
*GRHYD (Gestion des
Réseaux par l'injection d'Hydrogène pour Décarboner les
énergies [grid management through the injection of hydrogen for
energy decarbonization])
By helping to bring about the
emergence of a new way of recovering and storing renewable energy,
the demonstrator exemplifies the hydrogen plan launched June 1,
2018 by Nicolas Hulot [French Environment Minister], and the
importance of scaling up the business sector in France. The country
benefits from cutting-edge industrial players right across
technologies where the demonstrators are essential. The innovative
aspect of the GRHYD project lies in the rates of incorporation for
injecting hydrogen into gas distribution grids compared with those
of other projects: hydrogen injection into gas grids is also being
tested in Fos-sur-Mer and other European countries, such as in
Germany and soon in the United Kingdom.
