Project Hyguane: Green Hydrogen for Ariane 6 and More
Facility Could Save Over 3000 Metric Tons of Equivalent Carbon Dioxide Emissions a Year
Ariane 6 uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for its main and upper stages. Hydrogen in its gaseous form (H2) is rarely found on Earth, and so is currently produced in French Guiana from steam reforming of methanol (CH3OH).
“This novel facility will be a shining example of carbon-free production of hydrogen when it opens."
