In France, Haffner Energy announced that H2 bois SA has signed an essential contract for the development of a biomass-based hydrogen, electricity and biochar production plant in Switzerland.
The plant is expected to be commissioned in July 2026, With all its equipment and auxiliaries, it is designed to produce 30 kg/h of hydrogen.
The hydrogen produced at the plant will be distributed on site or removed for industrial and mobility applications. The electricity produced will be fed into the electricity grid. Biochar, a by-product of the production of syngas (syngas) from which hydrogen is derived and a real carbon sink, will be used for compost enrichment and soil amendment, the firm said.
“We are delighted to have reached this essential milestone with the Swiss companies Corbat, Planair and Romande Energie. As we anticipated, the production of mobility-grade hydrogen is proving to be a key catalyst. This shows that our Hynoca technological process is delivering on its promises, which should be a game-changer for a hydrogen ecosystem that has yet to truly take off. We have been waiting for this for a long time, and the availability of the Marolles site finally allows us to produce super green hydrogen from solid biomass”, said Philippe Haffner, Co-founder and CEO of Haffner Energy.
