Indre-et-Loire inaugurates Centre-Val de Loire region’s first green hydrogen station at Sorigny’s Isoparc business park, providing a strategic refueling point for various hydrogen vehicles.

The €2 million ($2.16 million) facility, leveraging innovative hybrid compression technology, underscores regional ambitions to accelerate sustainable energy transition.

The new facility boasts a daily production capacity of 200 kilograms of hydrogen and features an advanced hybrid compression system developed by Eifhytec, combining mechanical and thermochemical methods for optimal energy efficiency and reduced spatial footprint. Managed by the Touraine Vallée de l’Indre Community of Communes (CCTVI), the station supports the region’s wider renewable hydrogen initiative, Hy’Touraine. Conveniently situated near the A10 motorway and within 15 km of Tours, the station is well-positioned to serve the local community, complementing an existing fleet of hydrogen-powered bicycles, heavy vehicles, and waste collection trucks.
