La Manche in transition
Focus 2015
An unique zero-carbon power generation potential
• A region that already exports
electricity (with limited
consumption)
• A significant level of fossil
fuel imports (heat and mobility)
leading to a negative regional
energy balance
• An increasing electricity
production of nuclear origin,
with the commissioning of the
EPR in 2017
• A significant growth potential
thanks to marine renewable
energies (tidal and wind)
About 10GW of decarbonated electricity could be
produced in West Normandie in 2030, equivalent to
10% of the installed capacity in France

A large amount of imported Fossil Fuels
Energy Balance for West Normandie
2030: 19 TWh of Fossil Fuels are still imported
3
The role of hydrogen in the energy system of West Normandie
West Normandie optimized energy system in
2030, using hydrogen as a bridge between
energy networks

The Energy Management Models
Centralized
• Large transport and
storage
infrastructures
• Very capitalistic and
highly competitive
• Linde Groupe,
AREVA, EDF, GDF
Suez and the
TSO… State (taxes)

Niche
High-volume
•Limited transport
•Buffer storage
•Significant volume
•Local markets
(mobility, heat…)

An optimized management of energy systems becomes possible
Using hydrogen as a physical bridge between energy networks, and with the help of
smart network technologies interdependencies and interactions between the
different energy networks can be managed to reach a global optimization

Mobility Roadmap - 2025
•
Carbon-free Hydrogen :
10.000 t/year H2 production
Budget : 40 to 50 million €uros
… La Manche, already engaged in hydrogen mobility : 40
H2 cars, 5 buses, 3 hydrogen stations, partnership
with La Poste, B-to-B events…
Companies : Hytrac, Easybike,…
