Air Liquide refurbished hydrogen station at Place de l’Alma
Located at the heart of Paris, the site is an integral part of the ambition to organize more sustainable Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Just over 100 days before the start of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, Air Liquide has designed and installed a new hydrogen station at Place de l’Alma (Paris).
Sporting a brand new look, this location is a showcase of the network of stations deployed in Ile-de-France (Greater Paris area) for the occasion. The company will supply hydrogen of renewable origin to the Game’s official fleet, which includes 500 hydrogen Toyota Mirai cars.
“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,” said Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive Committee overseeing Hydrogen activities.
This initiative is an integral part of France and the firm’s ambition to organize more sustainable Games.
Air Liquide believes hydrogen is a key solution for decarbonizing various sectors such as industry and mobility. In the field of transport, the company provides hydrogen to approximately 15,000 cars, 500 buses and 1,000 trucks in the world.
