Zero Emission Valley

The overall objective of this Action is to foster fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) use in France, significantly contributing to the European alternative fuels implementation strategy. The Action will deploy a network of hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) at regional level to reach a critical mass for the market uptake, laying foundations for future national and European hydrogen mobility.

The Action consists of deploying twenty HRS, out of which fifteen will be supplied by onsite electrolysers and one thousand fuel cell vehicles in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. "Zero Emission Valley" is aligned with France’s "H2Mobilité" programme, the roadmap to a national roll-out for hydrogen, which aims to deploy 600 HRS in the country by 2030.
