EDPR And Lhyfe, Which Recently Signed An Agreement, Aim To Identify Project Opportunities To Produce Renewable Hydrogen

EDPR has signed an agreement with the French company Lhyfe to produce renewable hydrogen and contribute to carbon reduction in society and industry. EDPR will supply renewable electricity to Lhyfe’s hydrogen production projects and aims to achieve 1.5 GW of clean hydrogen production by 2030.
“We believe that clean hydrogen can go hand in hand with direct electricity generation as the best way to reduce CO2 emissions and achieve the decarbonization of the economy, which includes the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors. The agreement with Lhyfe aims to reinforce EDPR’s commitment to accelerating the energy transition while taking another step toward the realization of clean hydrogen production,” stated EDP and EDPR CEO Miguel Stilwell d’Andrade.

Additionally, both EDPR and Lhyfe will assess opportunities for joint project development, with EDPR’s participation potentially reaching 50% of the project’s capital. EDPR and Lhyfe will also work together on R&D actions, the development of new projects, and equipment purchases.

“We are very pleased to enter into this agreement with one of the world’s largest producers of renewable energy. The trust that EDPR places in us allows us to confidently reflect on the development of our renewable hydrogen on a global and large scale. We are excited to enhance our future hydrogen production facilities alongside EDPR with the goal of eliminating carbon emissions in society and industry, thanks to the combination of EDPR’s and Lhyfe’s strengths,” said Lhyfe’s founder and CEO Matthieu Guesné.

EDPR’s Agreement With Lhyfe Aims For Profit Generation And The International Growth Of The Companies

The agreement made with EDPR aims to generate profits through a partnership between the two companies, promoting the growth of EDPR’s portfolio, especially in France, and contributing to the growth of Lhyfe’s projects worldwide. Additionally, the partnership between the two companies contributes to the acquisition of more operational and commercial technologies for the renewable hydrogen project.

The alliance with Lhyfe reaffirms EDPR’s bet on renewable hydrogen. As a result, the team forms the H2BU (H2 Business Unit), a business unit dedicated exclusively to the development of renewable hydrogen projects, focusing on developing opportunities in promising areas, such as steel and chemicals, refineries, and cement factories as well as long-haul and heavy transportation.

EDPR Had Several Renewable Hydrogen Production Projects

EDP has been in the clean energy solution sector for a long time through numerous projects such as GreenH2Atlantic, a 100 MW renewable hydrogen energy project in Sines (Portugal). EDPR is also promoting other projects in Spain and Brazil as part of its transformation plans to convert coal plants into clean technology facilities. Additionally, EDPR is heavily involved with major hydrogen players, leveraging its critical portfolio of renewable assets, particularly in the U.S.

The efficiency of hydrogen is supported by the forecast that global demand for hydrogen will increase sixfold between 2020 and 2050, reaching 530 million tons by 2050, driven by financial growth and the doubling of consumption, both in industry and mobility. It is expected that the share of renewable hydrogen will represent 60% of total hydrogen demand by 2050.

EDPR Had Several Renewable Hydrogen Production Projects

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.

While heat evaporates water from reservoirs and countries seek new areas for clean energy, Morocco is testing floating solar panels that function as an energy lid and also generate electricity.

China occupies the desert with a 2 GW solar power plant in Inner Mongolia, installs elevated panels that create shade and humidity over the sand, and transforms a 2.96 billion kWh per year farm into an unexpected weapon against desertification.

Saudi Arabia is building in Oxagon a US$ 8.4 billion mega green hydrogen plant with 4 GW of solar and wind energy, 5.6 million solar panels, and capacity to produce 600 tons per day, transforming the desert into one of the planet’s largest clean fuel factories.

Germany and Denmark will transform Bornholm into a Baltic power island, connecting 3 GW of offshore wind power to the grids of the two countries via submarine cables and turning a real island into an international energy hub.

Brazil discovers natural hydrogen in four states and enters the silent race that could redraw the energy transition: Petrobras has already invested R$ 20 million in studies.
