Energy giant Total and French energy group Engie will build and operate France’s largest renewable hydrogen production site.

It will be powered by solar farms with a total capacity of more than 100MW.
An innovative management solution for the production and storage of hydrogen will be implemented to manage the intermittent production of solar electricity and the biorefinery’s need for continuous hydrogen supply, Engie said in a statement.
