GRHYD - Management of Networks by injection of Hydrogen to De-carbonate energies. Press file. The GRHYD project partners inaugurate the first Power-to-Gas demonstrator in France

Power-to-Gas is a solution for the future for transforming electric power from renewable energy into hydrogen gas. The GRHYD project, launched in 2014, tests the injection of hydrogen into the region's natural gas distribution grid to meet residents' needs in terms of heating, domestic hot water and cooking. This innovative initiative is earmarked for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 pc by 2020, as wished by the French government. GRHYD is a tangible illustration of the Hydrogen Plan, which the government launched on June 1, 2018. This document contains a presentation of the project, of its challenges and stakes, of its multiple objectives. It proposes a focus on its 'housing' and 'transport' components, gives an overview of its agenda and budgetary elements. It presents the consortium built up about this project, and its partners. The press file proposes a brief presentation of the Power-to-Gas technology, of the project, of its expected results, of what is true or wrong about it, and of the different partners, but also of its impact on the region.
