France's hydrogen vision and its significance for Europe and beyond

Industry association representing hydrogen-sector stakeholders across the value chain

National government and policy maker

Indirect electrification means using electricity to make hydrogen, then using that hydrogen where direct electrification is difficult. France Hydrogène presents this as a strategic complement to direct electric solutions in buildings and mobility.

The electrification plan is also about grid access, connection delays, and managing new industrial demand for electricity. France Hydrogène uses grid-demand figures to argue that hydrogen projects should be part of national planning.

Technology for hydrogen production mentioned as likely component of the Tsuruga project's supply chain.
