EQUANS and INOCEL formalize their partnership to create a modular solution for hydrogen-based energy storage and production. This innovation meets the needs of critical infrastructures, smart grids, ports, and data centers, with power ranging from 300 kW to several MW. Their turnkey solution includes production, storage, and energy generation to contribute to decarbonization and the global energy transition.
A turnkey solution for various uses and for decarbonization
The two companies offer a solution adapted to various uses. It specifically addresses the needs of ports, data centers, industrial buildings, and electrical networks. Inocel provides fuel cells while Equans manages the containerization and integration of systems. This approach ensures energy production of 300 kW to several MW starting in 2025. Jules Billiet, CEO of Inocel, states: “This partnership illustrates our commitment to integrating the entire hydrogen value chain.”
Hydrogen plays a key role in energy transition, especially for sectors where batteries are insufficient. I observe that this technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions in ports, ensures backup power for critical infrastructures, and powers mobile generators for remote sites. Jérôme Stubler, president of Equans, emphasizes: “Hydrogen must play a key role in the energy transition.” This solution is part of an ecological approach, supported by increased competitiveness.
A collaboration based on innovation
Equans, a global leader in energy services, and Inocel, a fuel cell expert, combine their expertise to cover the entire hydrogen value chain. This collaboration relies on partner networks and French expertise. I note that this solution is also intended for port infrastructures and smart grids. With this project, Equans and Inocel strengthen their position in the energy transition by offering a competitive and ecological alternative.
