Hyliko and Lhyfe Extend Renewable Hydrogen Partnership for Paris Region Stations

Lhyfe, a European producer of green and renewable hydrogen, has concluded a multi‑year supply agreement with Hyliko to provide renewable hydrogen to two hydrogen refuelling stations serving heavy goods vehicles in the Paris region of France. This contract extends an existing partnership and significantly increases the volume of hydrogen supplied to support decarbonised road transport infrastructure.

The renewed contract, effective from 1 November 2025, covers supply to the existing hydrogen station in Villabé (Essonne) and will include a second station in Tremblay‑en‑France (Seine‑Saint‑Denis), scheduled to start operations in 2027. Located at the logistics hub near the A1 motorway, the new station is intended to support refuelling demand along major freight corridors. Under this two‑year agreement, Lhyfe will deliver more than 200 tonnes of RFNBO hydrogen to both stations, enabling expanded refuelling capacity for heavy transport applications.

Renewable Hydrogen Production and Certification
The hydrogen supplied to Hyliko’s network is certified under the European Union’s RFNBO standard (Renewable Fuels of Non‑Biological Origin), which is among the most stringent criteria for green hydrogen under the EU Renewable Energy Directive. This certification verifies that the hydrogen is produced via water electrolysis powered by renewable energy, ensuring minimal lifecycle carbon emissions.

In May 2025, Lhyfe became the first French company to deliver RFNBO‑certified hydrogen, with its four production sites achieving certification between May and September 2025. This milestone positioned Lhyfe as a leading European supplier in terms of production and delivery capacity for RFNBO hydrogen derived from electrolytic processes.

Preparing for French Incentive Scheme and Cost Impacts
The contract aligns with expectations around the upcoming TIRUERT incentive scheme in France — a regulatory mechanism designed to promote renewable fuels in transport through a certificate‑based valuation system. Once the TIRUERT decree is published, hydrogen distributors such as Hyliko will be able to generate certificates for RFNBO hydrogen volumes supplied, potentially lowering the retail price per kilogram of hydrogen. Estimates suggest this could decrease the price at the pump by several euros per kilogram, improving the competitiveness of renewable hydrogen relative to conventional fuels.

Operational Outcomes and Market Context
Since commencing deliveries to Hyliko’s Villabé station, the RFNBO hydrogen supplied by Lhyfe has supported more than 342,000 km of heavy truck operation, displacing approximately 234 tonnes of CO₂ emissions and reducing diesel consumption by nearly 110,000 litres. These operational results demonstrate tangible greenhouse‑gas savings associated with replacing diesel with renewable hydrogen in high‑duty transport.

The expanded agreement underlines Lhyfe’s role in enabling hydrogen refuelling infrastructure for heavy mobility and situates the company competitively within European hydrogen supply markets, where certification and scalable production are key differentiators. Lhyfe’s approach, which combines RFNBO certification with established supply agreements, enhances its ability to serve transport operators and refuelling station developers preparing for both regulatory incentives and commercial demand growth.
