What H2V does
H2V is a French private company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Carpiquet, France, that develops, invests in, and constructs gigafactories for the production of green hydrogen and derivative synthetic fuels. Its announced project portfolio spans four French sites — H2V Marseille Fos (600 MW), H2V Dunkerque, H2V Thionville (200 MW), and H2V Normandy / Normandhy (200 MW) — plus the HUB de la décarbonation platform, aggregating over 1 GW of planned electrolysis capacity.
The company's core technology is water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity secured through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or sourced from the low-carbon French electrical grid, qualifying its hydrogen as renewable under the EU RFNBO (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin) framework. Beyond green hydrogen, H2V operates downstream synthesis pathways: e-methanol produced by combining green hydrogen with captured CO2 via methanolation and distillation (requiring approximately 0.2 t H2 and 1.4 t CO2 per tonne), and e-SAF / e-kerosene produced via Methanol-to-Jet or Fischer-Tropsch processes (approximately 0.5 t H2 and 3.2 t CO2 per tonne) that can be blended with conventional kerosene up to 50%.
H2V monetizes through direct B2B project-based contracts with industrial off-takers across five target verticals — industry (grey hydrogen / natural gas / coal replacement), refining (desulfurization hydrogen), heavy-duty trucking (diesel replacement), maritime (e-methanol as heavy fuel oil replacement), and aviation (e-SAF blending) — with distribution via train, barge, and truck to consumption sites. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and operates a multilingual (French/English) corporate website with a documentation center for press, brochures, and stakeholder communication.

Product offeringCore offering
H2V develops, invests in, and constructs gigafactories that produce green hydrogen via water electrolysis using renewable or low-carbon electricity, and synthesizes derivative fuels including e-methanol (green hydrogen + captured CO2) and e-SAF/e-kerosene (via Methanol-to-Jet or Fischer-Tropsch). The output is sold under B2B contracts to industrial customers, refineries, trucking operators, maritime shippers, and aviation companies to replace grey hydrogen, natural gas, coal, diesel, heavy fuel oil, and kerosene.
Product overview
H2V is a pioneer company established in 2016 that develops, invests in, and constructs gigafactories for the production of green hydrogen and its derivative synthetic fuels. The company's product portfolio centers on green hydrogen (produced via water electrolysis using renewable or low-carbon electricity), e-méthanol (synthetic methanol from green hydrogen and captured CO2), and e-SAF/e-kerosene (synthetic aviation fuels produced via Methanol-to-Jet or Fischer-Tropsch processes). These products are designed to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors including industry, refining, trucking, maritime transport, and aviation. The company operates multiple gigafactory projects across France including H2V Marseille Fos (600 MW), H2V Dunkerque, H2V Thionville (200 MW), and H2V Normandy (200 MW), as well as the HUB de la décarbonation project.

Products and services
- Hydrogène vert (Green Hydrogen) Green hydrogen produced via water electrolysis using electricity from renewable sources under Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) or low-carbon sources from the French electrical grid. Sold to industrial customers, refineries, and transportation operators as a decarbonization feedstock replacing grey hydrogen, natural gas, or coal.
- e-méthanol (E-Methanol) Synthetic methanol produced by combining green hydrogen (renewable or low-carbon) with captured CO2 in a methanolation reactor, then separated by distillation. Requires approximately 0.2 tonnes of green hydrogen and 1.4 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of e-methanol. Stored as liquid and delivered by train, barge, or truck. Used as a low-carbon maritime fuel replacing heavy fuel oil.
- e-SAF (Synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel) Synthetic aviation fuel produced by combining green hydrogen and captured CO2 using either Methanol-to-Jet or Fischer-Tropsch processes. The resulting e-kerosene is blended with traditional kerosene up to 50% incorporation. Requires approximately 0.5 tonnes of green hydrogen and 3.2 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of synthetic fuel. Targeted at airlines and aviation operators needing sustainable fuel.
- e-kérosène (E-Kerosene) Synthetic kerosene produced via Methanol-to-Jet or Fischer-Tropsch processes from green hydrogen and captured CO2. Used as a sustainable aviation fuel blending component mixed with traditional kerosene.
- H2V Gigafactories (Project Development & Construction) Large-scale project development, investment, and construction service for green hydrogen and synthetic fuel production facilities (gigafactories). Each gigafactory produces green hydrogen, e-methanol, and e-SAF at multi-hundred-MW scale, with sites including H2V Marseille Fos (600 MW), H2V Thionville (200 MW), H2V Normandy (200 MW), H2V Dunkerque, and the HUB de la décarbonation.
