On Friday, a Tokyo delegation visited, at the foot of the Schiffenen dam, the Friborg hydrogen production plant of Group E. This innovative technology could contribute to the objective of making the port of Tokyo entirely carbon neutral by 2050 .
Inaugurated last fall by the Group E, the small green hydrogen production plant in Friborg plays a key role in the decarbonization of industry and transport. A technology that arouses interest as far as Tokyo.
On Friday, a Japanese delegation traveled 9,000 kilometers to photograph it. “This is the first time that we have seen such a green hydrogen production plant,” explains Saturday in RTS 12:30 p.m. Akihiro Haneda, director of the construction section of Tokyo port facilities.
With the aim of reducing CO2 emissions from maritime transport by 50% by 2030, then carbon neutrality by 2050, “we hope to be able to import this expertise here,” says Akihiro Haneda.
An avant-garde process
The plant produces 300 tonnes of green hydrogen per year without CO2 emissions, the equivalent of the consumption of fifty buses. From next year, it will be integrated into a pilot project of Friborg public transport (TPF)notably providing energy to two fuel cell buses.
A unique technology, underlines Laurent Ducrest, thermal operation and environment manager at Groupe E: “It is pioneering in terms of its industrial size and the fact that it is powered by green electricity which is produced on site”. This energy is generated by the dam thanks to a turbine which operates without interruption, thus making it possible to maintain the water level in the Sarine when the main turbines are stopped, he specifies.
