The H2V group’s planned green hydrogen production complex, which will be operational from 2026, is being built on a former industrial wasteland of 31 hectares.
Sodevam, the Syndicat E LOG’IN 4, and the H2V company signed a pledge of sale of a 31-hectare site in the Thionville agglomeration’s premises. The plant will be located in Uckange, at the level of the Europort activity zone, and will contain four 100 MW units devoted to the electrolysis generation of green hydrogen.
“We wanted to be on the water, at the port, and carry hydrogen by a barge on the Moselle,” Jean-Marc Leonhardt, general manager of H2V, tells France Bleu.

This plant, which will be entirely dedicated to mobility, will be operational by 2026 and will generate 120 direct employment. It will be used to power a network of roughly twenty hydrogen stations in the Grand Est area, which will be spread out across a 300-kilometer radius. There are refueling stations for all sorts of hydrogen cars. Malherbe, a subsidiary carrier of SAMFI INVEST, the firm that owns H2V, shall run buses, dumpsters, and heavy freight trucks.
H2V has announced a number of projects in Moselle, including one in Thionville. A little farther south, near Gandrange, the business wants to build two renewable hydrogen production facilities with a combined capacity of 200 megawatts, which will be operational by 2025.
