\n Discover how our work with Chemours will help strengthen the green hydrogen supply chain in Europe. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As part of its plans to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the European Union has set an ambitious goal of boosting the capacity of green hydrogen to at least 40 gigawatts by 2030<\/a> \u2013 and making it cost-competitive with the cheaper and readily available fossil fuel-based hydrogen.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening the supply chain is key to meeting the growing demand for green hydrogen. To support this shift, the US-based global chemical company Chemours has recently decided to invest $200 million (around \u20ac189 million) to expand its 40-hectare manufacturing facility in Villers-Saint-Paul, France.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemours will use the expanded regional manufacturing site to support and advance technological progress and new products for the worldwide hydrogen economy. This includes the production of its Nafion\u2122 ion exchange materials, which can be used in clean hydrogen generation using water electrolyzers, energy storage in flow batteries, and hydrogen conversion to power fuel cell vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been appointed to manage the delivery of the new facility, building on our existing relationship with Chemours in the US to help them expand operations into Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using our global expertise with in-depth local knowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Chemours\u2019 CEO and President Mark Newman, France was chosen for the investment because of \u201cthe French government\u2019s goal to create a reliable and strong hydrogen economy, and the European Union\u2019s ambition to deliver a clean energy transition based on the objectives set in the EU Climate Law.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our global asset delivery expertise combined with our strong local presence made us the preferred partner for Chemours as they expand into this new market.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are providing permitting support as well as digital reporting and project management services for the new facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having undertaken similar project management services for Chemours in the United States, we are applying both the in-depth experience of our US teams and our local team\u2019s robust knowledge of the French construction market to the project.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting growing market demand for green hydrogen  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scaling-up of the hydrogen economy supply chain remains key to unlocking hydrogen\u2019s full potential. Once complete, the new facility will enable Chemours to support the growing market demand for clean hydrogen generation while benefiting the local economy through the creation of new jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work with Chemours further solidifies ArchTam\u2019s status as a leading partner in the hydrogen economy. Earlier this year, ArchTam announced a strategic agreement<\/a> with Spanish infrastructure group URBAS to develop green hydrogen, green ammonia, and biofuels projects. ArchTam is also part of a framework working on ATOME Energy\u2019s green hydrogen and ammonia facility<\/a> in Villeta, Paraguay, which is being supported by Paraguay\u2019s National Electricity Commission. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":771,"featured_media":38767,"template":"","tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-38764","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/38764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/771"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/38764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38870,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/38764\/revisions\/38870"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38764"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=38764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
