Lhyfe renew green hydrogen supply contract for Hyliko hydrogen refuelling stations
Lhyfe – one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for the decarbonisation of mobility and industry – and Hyliko – the first turnkey solution to accelerate the decarbonisation of road transport using hydrogen – have announced the signing of a new multi-year contract.
This contract, which originally came into effect in 2025, is a renewal and extension, and includes the supply of the second Hyliko station.
Lhyfe already supplies the Villabé station, which has registered strong demand and remarkable performance. The RFNBO-certified renewable hydrogen supplied by Lhyfe has enabled trucks to travel more than 342,000 km, avoiding the emission of 234 tonnes of CO2 and saving almost 110,000 litres of diesel.
For the supply of its second hydrogen station, due to come on stream in 2027, Hyliko is once again putting its trust in Lhyfe. The station will be located in Tremblay-en-France, at the heart of the Roissy logistics hub and close to the A1 motorway.

Under this new two-year contract, Lhyfe will supply more than 200 tonnes of RFNBO hydrogen to Hyliko’s two stations.
In May 2025, Lhyfe became the first French player to deliver RFNBO–certified hydrogen. Its four production sites obtained the certification between May and September 2025, making the company the leading European player in terms of production and delivery capacity for RFNBO hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water. The RFNBO standard is the European Union’s most demanding standard for green hydrogen under the European Renewable Energy Directive. RFNBO-certified hydrogen is eligible for the French incentive scheme, TIRUERT, which is due to come into effect shortly.
Through Lhyfe’s supply of RFNBO-certified renewable hydrogen, Hyliko has prepared for compliance with TIRUERT.
TIRUERT (Tax incentive for the use of renewable energy in transport) is a French regulatory measure designed to encourage the use of renewable fuels in transport. It integrates RFNBO-certified hydrogen alongside other renewable fuels, and enables it to be valued through certificates as part of a self-financing market mechanism.
As soon as the decree governing this scheme is published, Hyliko will be able to add value to the RFNBO hydrogen it distributes by issuing certificates, thereby generating additional income that could allow it to adjust sales price. It is estimated that this mechanism could reduce the price of a kilo of RFNBO hydrogen by around four to six euros at the pump.
Ovarith Troeung, Managing Director of Hyliko: “The renewal of our partnership with Lhyfe is part of a long-term collaboration aimed at securing access to renewable hydrogen for heavy transport applications. This approach will enable us to consolidate a network of stations in line with market needs and anticipate the entry into force of future regulations, so that we can offer our transport customers and their clients immediately operational and competitive solutions.”
Matthieu Guesné, founder and CEO of Lhyfe: “We are very proud to strengthen our ties with Hyliko, a pioneer in the sector. The results of its Villabé station and its decision to open a second station clearly demonstrate the relevance of hydrogen mobility for heavy goods vehicles, and the demand for it in order to decarbonise the industry. This decarbonisation is not an option but a necessity. While some people are still debating the difference between electric batteries and hydrogen, or wondering about the technological maturity and sustainability of the model, with Hyliko we are taking action and making the decarbonisation of goods transport a reality.”
