ALLDIS-NERIUS CHOOSES HRS FOR ITS 1ST HYDROGEN VEHICLE REFUELING STATION AT THE KOUROU SPACE CENTER IN FRENCH GUIANA – 1st French overseas territories deployment for HRS
Grenoble, 19 December 2024 – HRS, French designer and manufacturer, and European leader in hydrogen refueling stations, announces that it has received an order from ALLDIS-NERIUS for the installation of an HRS14[1] station at the Kourou space center in French Guiana, with delivery scheduled for the 1st half of 2026.
This order from ALLDIS-NERIUS, the company responsible for installing the hydrogen refueling station on behalf of the European Space Agency, is part of the HYGUANE (Hydrogène Guyanais A Neutralité Environnementale) project. This is an important component of the decarbonization strategy implemented by the Guyana Space Centre (Centre Spatial Guyanais, CSG), with the aim of producing and distributing renewable hydrogen via water electrolysis, powered by a photovoltaic field built nearby.
The green hydrogen produced on site will be used to power the heavy mobility equipment on site (in particular road tractors) as well as stationary electrical generators. This order confirms the recognition of the unique know-how of HRS, selected once again for a project of European scope. HRS also intends to seize the opportunity of this first location in French Guyana to strengthen its exchanges and foster possible collaborations with other hydrogen mobility players already present in the “leading French overseas territory in terms of hydrogen project development[2]”.
Antoine Malik Madoui, CEO of Nerius Invest, comments:
For this ambitious project entrusted to us by the European Space Agency, we naturally chose to turn to HRS, a player who has already installed many similar stations in Europe and is recognized for the high quality of its equipment and service offering.
“We are convinced that we have made the best choice to meet the expectations of the Guyana Space Center and the region as a whole.”
Hassen Rachedi, founder and CEO of HRS, added:
We are very proud to be part of this project involving several European partners. This new order demonstrates once again that our solutions are perfectly identified and sought-after to contribute to the decarbonization of territories.
“We look forward to working with ALLDIS-NERIUS in French Guiana, where numerous research projects and initiatives are already being developed around hydrogen.”
