An unique zero-carbon power generation potential
• An increasing electricity production of
nuclear origin, with the commissioning
of the EPR in 2017
• A significant growth potential thanks
to marine renewable energies (tidal
and wind)
• A region that already exports
electricity (with limited consumption)
• A significant level of fossil fuel
imports (heat and mobility) leading to
a negative regional energy balance
About 10GW of decarbonated electricity could be produced in West
Normandie in 2030, equivalent to 10% of the installed capacity in France

A positive power balance in production…
2030: About 40 TWh of excess in electricity should be
exported and / or stored and/or used in the region
“Median” scenario:
Exploitation of the region’s renewable marine energy potential: tidal (10TWh) and offshore wind (3TWh)

Hydrogen is a storage mean appropriate to large volumes

Beyond a storage mean, hydrogen is also an decarbonated energy vector that can be used
for electricity, mobility, heat
Hydrogen is also a feedstock for chemicals and valorisation of CO2 (hydrogenation of CO2)

Conclusion – La contribution de la Manche à la transition énergétique
The Hydrogen Energy Roadmap for West Normandie
Three ambitious objectives at the horizon 2050 :
• Develop the energy production capacity making the region the first national energy
producer
• Decarbonate the consumption to become independent from fossil fuels
• Develop a job-creating economy and generate growth
The roadmap component
• Production of electricity
• Production of hydrogen
• Hydrogen mobility
• Cogeneration of heat and electricity
• Chemical products using hydrogen as a feedstock
• Energy export through hydrogen
• Optimization of energy management using smart networks
• Economic analysis – investments and related jobs creation

Conclusion – La contribution de la Manche à la transition énergétique
This regional demonstrator will be deployed in three
steps:
•Short term:
- deployment of mature technologies, available on
the market
- adaptation of technological demonstrators, which
are underway or planned in other regions
•Middle term:
- technological demonstrators to test new
technological bricks
- Improvement of yields
•Long term:
- Generalization of uses
- R&D programs focused on local issues
- large industrial programs
A phased deployment in time…

Conclusion – La contribution de la Manche à la transition énergétique
West Normandie’s unique energy potential makes it one of the main actors of
Energy Transition in France and in Europe
The use of hydrogen and intelligent multi-energy networks is the stepping stone to
set up a high-performance economy of the future for the region and its inhabitants
West Normandie has the potential and the ambition to become the French
demonstrator of the hydrogen economy
