Y.SPOT
the CEA's first open and collaborative innovation center
INAUGURATION : January 2020
This is where players from different cultures and backgrounds come together, who share a common vision of innovation,
connected to markets and major societal issues. A multidisciplinary ecosystem focused on the user, which starts with the
human being to question to question what makes sense in their daily activities and bring value.

Role of regulation in the promotion of disruptive projects in Energy sector
National Strategy for the development of low-carbon hydrogen in France
1. Decarbonize industry by developing a French electrolysis industry;
2. Developing heavy mobility with low-carbon hydrogen;
3. Supporting research, innovation and the development of skills to promote the uses of tomorrow.
Role of regulation
Example of Hydrogen
For the point 3, here are some examples of new uses of hydrogen
• Hydrogen in energy networks: hydrogen can be used to facilitate the deployment of renewable energydeployment of
renewable energies by improving the stability of energy networks;
• New uses in industry: the use of decarbonized hydrogen can be integrated into certain industrial processes to reduce
CO2 emissions. For example, hydrogen could be used in the iron and steel industry to reduce iron or in the chemical
industry for the manufacture of fertilizers;
• The heavy mobility of tomorrow: this is the case for decarbonized planes and ships. The use of hydrogen in these
sectors could be the subject of demonstrators;
• Tomorrow's H2 infrastructures: hydrogen represents a definite potential in the medium term for the decarbonization
of the gas sector (liquid H2, reuse in the gas network).
• Regulation can help developing these innovative technologies
• Innovative technologies can help promoting new regulations
