SEVEN supplies the Tarn with biohydrogen

The SEVEN group, specializing in renewable fuels, has opened a biohydrogen distribution station in Tarn. Designed to meet the growing needs for sustainable mobility, this infrastructure marks an important step in the development of clean energy in Occitanie.

A bioH2 station opened on December 30th at a
compressed natural gas (BioGNC) distribution site operated by the SEVEN group in Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe in the Tarn. This new station can deliver up to one ton of hydrogen per day. It is suitable for both light vehicles, thanks to a pressure of 700 bar, and heavy vehicles at 350 bar. The hydrogen is delivered in a short circuit by the Lhyfe Bessières electrolyser (located less than 10 km from the station).

For Jean-Louis Questat, Director of Industrial Operations,

The completion of this infrastructure in just 10 months is the result of solid coordination between our technical and operational teams with our partners such as the Tarn Department, Trifyl and the manufacturer HRS.

The bioH2 station in Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe required an investment of 4.8 million euros. In particular, it will supply the Region’s 15 new retrofitted hydrogen coaches (liO).

A key link in the Corridor H2 project in Occitanie

The SEVEN group’s bioH2 station is one of the components of Corridor H2. This major project led by the Occitanie Region and co-financed by the European
Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Commission, is developing an interconnected network of hydrogen stations. The aim is to replace the use of fossil fuels with green hydrogen for trucks, refrigeration units and coaches. The aim is to support sustainable mobility that also promotes industrial innovation and local employment.

Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe therefore meets the needs of public and private stakeholders in the region, particularly in terms of logistics and transport.

Explains Jean-Michel Richeton, president of the SEVEN group, who wants to lay the foundations for a rapid and reliable deployment of hydrogen solutions on a national scale,

Beyond the local vocation of this station to support sustainable transport, we are working to ensure that it paves the way for larger-scale decarbonization,

“For the manager, the real challenge now lies in the massive adoption of hydrogen mobility for passenger and freight transport. “Ensuring a stable supply of green hydrogen, while maintaining competitive costs, will turn this success into sustainable progress.”
