A showcase of the network of stations deployed in
Ile-de-France (Greater Paris area), Air Liquide’s
(Paris:AI) hydrogen station located at the heart of
the capital city is an integral part of the ambition to organize
more sustainable Games. Just over 100 days before the start of the
Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, this network of stations
will enable the filling of 500 hydrogen cars, contributing to
accelerate the use of hydrogen for mobility.
Official Supporter in hydrogen of Paris 2024, Air Liquide has
designed and installed this station at Place de l’Alma (Paris). The
Group will supply hydrogen of renewable origin to Paris 2024’s
official fleet, which notably includes 500 hydrogen Toyota Mirai
cars.
For vehicles with intensive-use, hydrogen presents significant
benefits, enabling fast refilling time as well as a long autonomy.
A hydrogen fill-up is possible in about 5 minutes, for a range of
up to 650 kilometers.
Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive
Committee overseeing Hydrogen activities, underlines: “Paris
2024 represents a fantastic opportunity to accelerate the
development and the adoption of hydrogen, a key solution to reduce
CO2 emissions, in particular for intensive transport. Located at
the heart of the French capital, the Place de l’Alma station
embodies the showcase of an exceptional network, which will leave
its mark as a lasting legacy. Present across the entire hydrogen
value chain, Air Liquide contributes to the development of
hydrogen, an essential molecule in the energy transition.”
Hydrogen is a key solution for decarbonizing various sectors
such as industry and mobility. In the field of transport, which
accounts for a quarter1 of CO2 emissions worldwide, Air Liquide has
multiplied by ten the volumes of hydrogen supplied to mobility
worldwide in two years. The Group provides hydrogen to
approximately 15,000 cars, 500 buses and 1,000 trucks in the
world.
The Place de l’Alma hydrogen station
received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint
Undertaking (now Clean Hydrogen Partnership) as part of the H2ME2
program, under Grant Agreement No 700350. This public-private
partnership is supported by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation program, Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Europe
Research.

services for industry and healthcare. Present in 72 countries with

molecules for life, matter and energy. They embody Air Liquide’s
scientific territory and have been at the core of the Group’s
activities since its creation in 1902.
Taking action today while preparing the future is at the heart
of Air Liquide’s strategy. With ADVANCE, its strategic plan for
2025, Air Liquide is targeting a global performance, combining
