Regulatory News:
After taking the first step towards industrialization with
the acquisition of Jacquier in June 2023, Haffner Energy (ISIN
code: FR0014007ND6 - Mnemonic: ALHAF) is pleased to announce that
it has completed the first stage of financing for its founding
project to build its first large-capacity plant in Saint-Dizier
(Haute-Marne), where its renewable gas and hydrogen production
modules will be manufactured and assembled, thanks to the support
of the French State through the France 2030 program operated by
Bpifrance and its local institutional partners, including the Grand
Est region and the GIP Haute-Marne. At the same time, Haffner
Energy has embarked on another short-term structuring project with
the establishment of a test and training center for research and
development purposes in Marolles, in the immediate vicinity of its
head office in Vitry-le-François and at the heart of the "Pays
Vitryat" industrial region (Marne).
At a time when the French government has just selected 183 new
territories as part of its "Territoires d'industrie" program aimed
at reindustrializing France, Haffner Energy, a specialist in
biomass energy recovery, is reaffirming more than ever its
commitment to making a lasting contribution to the goal of
industrial reconquest and territorial development through these two
strategic projects.
A player in the energy transition for over 30 years, with strong
roots in the Grand Est region, Haffner Energy designs and supplies
pioneering decarbonization solutions for players in mobility,
industry and local authorities.
Haffner Energy's strong ambition to bring its technology to
industrial scale is now being translated into a larger-scale
project with the choice of the town of Saint-Dizier for the
deployment of its future high-capacity assembly plant
(gigafactory), as announced by the Company at the time of its
IPO in February 2022.
This project was submitted as part of the France 2030 "Première
Usine" call for projects, operated by Bpifrance in autumn 2022.
After a demanding selection process, Haffner Energy is particularly
proud to announce that its gigafactory project named "FactorHy" has
been selected, marking a new strategic milestone for the
company.
"I'm very pleased to witness the successes of Haffner Energy,
with the support of France 2030, which has been present at every
stage of the company's development. After being supported in 2018
by a France 2030 grant (PIA) operated by Ademe, to develop an
initial demonstrator, the company moved on to a full-scale
demonstrator in Strasbourg, with the support of the Grand-Est
region. Finally, Haffner Energy has just received further support
from France 2030 to build its first high-capacity assembly plant
for its biogas and renewable hydrogen production modules in the
Grand Est region.
The company's markets are promising, particularly
internationally, where its technology is sure to play an important
role. I'm already looking forward to its future commercial success,
but also to its important contribution to decarbonizing our
economy, as its alternative hydrogen production technology, subject
to local biomass availability, can usefully complement electrolysis
production and guarantee the deployment of hydrogen in our
territory," said Bruno Bonnell, General Secretary for Investment
in charge of France 2030.
With this recognition, Haffner Energy will receive €5.9 million
in grants and repayable advances to finance its project. After this
first step, Haffner Energy is moving ahead with the realization of
its project, by completing its financing thanks to its public and
private partners, and by working on an Industrial Master Plan.
Details of the plant, which is scheduled to start up in mid-2024
and be completed in 2026, will be announced once these additional
stages have been completed.
Haffner Energy will also set up a test and training center in
the immediate vicinity of its head office in Vitry-le-François, in
the heart of the "Pays Vitryat" industrial region.
The project will be carried out in two stages:
- from early 2024, the installation of a new-generation
demonstrator for testing all types of biomass used by our customers
notably, with a view to industrial and business development and
continuous improvement of our technology;
- in the medium term, a test and training center for Haffner
Energy's customers and employees.
This project also enjoys the unanimous support of the region's
elected representatives and institutional partners.
"The technology deployed by Haffner Energy will play a decisive
role in decarbonizing and accelerating the energy transition
worldwide. Haffner Energy will be in a position to address
ever-expanding markets, provided it has an agile, high-performance
industrial base. Our Gigafactory and test and training center will
enable us to respond quickly and appropriately to customer demand,
while guaranteeing product quality and preserving the
confidentiality of Haffner Energy's unique intellectual property.
We are delighted to be launching these highly structuring
investments in the region where Haffner Energy's head office is
located. I would like to thank all our partners and elected
representatives, who unanimously support this industrial project
and have been working with us for months to ensure its successful
deployment,” said Philippe Haffner, Chairman and CEO of Haffner
Energy.
Haffner Energy is also delighted to be partnering with three
"Territoires d'industrie" in the Grand Est region. Among the
183 territories selected by this national initiative for green
industrial reconquest unveiled by the Government on November 9,
Haffner Energy is particularly committed to the following
Territoires d'industrie: "Pays Vitryat", comprising 3 public
inter-municipal cooperation bodies (EPCIs) (Communauté de Communes
de Vitry, Champagne et Der, Communauté de Communes de Côtes de
Champagne et Val de Saulx and Communauté de Communes de
Perthois-Bocage et Der), "Sud Meuse Nord Haute Marne",
comprising 4 EPCIs (Grand Saint-Dizier Der et vallées, Communauté
de communes des Portes de Meuse, Communauté de communes du Bassin
de Joinville en Champagne and Communauté d'Agglomération Meuse
Grand Sud), and "Pays Chalonnais" around 3 EPCIs (Châlons en
Champagne Agglo, Communauté de Communes Région de Suippes and
Communauté de Communes de la Moivre à la Coole).
Haffner Energy, an economic player committed to the green
reindustrialization of territories, has actively supported the
candidacy of these three territories, and wished to invest itself
more particularly by becoming the elected-industrial binomial of
the "Pays Vitryat" and "Sud Meuse Nord Haute-Marne" industrial
territories, in view of its development projects.
For Haffner Energy, this support is a way of contributing to the
national ambition of a sovereign, low-carbon industry through the
territories, particularly in the Grand Est region, which is the
cradle of the company's development.
Haffner Energy's approach to reindustrialization: positive
local initiatives come together to serve a global ambition:
regenerating the planet
While Haffner Energy's technology is intended to be a long-term
solution to the global challenge of decarbonization, it is of
particular interest in the collaboration between local authorities
and their stakeholders, whether biomass producers, talent pools or
incubators of positive initiatives, all of whom feed into and
support projects designed with Haffner Energy, around its
technology.
The thermolysis process developed by Haffner Energy is highly
adaptable, making it possible to valorize all types of biomass
residues and thus generating new outlets for local producers of
this raw material, which until now has often been untapped
(farmers, winegrowers, foresters, etc.), sourced locally and thus
sustaining local employment that cannot be relocated. Yet another
argument to justify the resources deployed by Haffner Energy to
pursue its unchanged ambition: decarbonizing uses without cutting
back on competitiveness.
It is in this perspective of generating positive synergies
that Haffner Energy recalls its participation in several positive
local initiatives in the service of green reindustrialization,
which highlight the trust placed in it by numerous local
partners.
Haffner Energy is a partner in the Chârl'Hy project, an
ambitious and unique project in the Champagne region, which aims to
establish an industrial hub for the production of hydrogen and
renewable gas in the Châlonnais basin. The project, which won
Châlons Agglo's "Financial support for the creation and development
of industrial activities with low environmental impact" call for
expressions of interest on November 10, 2023, is led by CVE, a
French independent producer of renewable energies, in partnership
with Haffner Energy, and scheduled to be completed by 2026/2027.
The installation of a SYNOCA® module designed by Haffner Energy
will enable biomass residues, particularly from forestry, to be
valorized. Following a study phase carried out by CVE and Haffner
Energy, the project will be tailored to meet local industrial and
urban heating needs.
In partnership with Nedey, Haffner Energy is also developing
a project for a renewable hydrogen production and distribution
station, called NedE'Hy, once again demonstrating its progress
in supporting local energy transition. This ambitious project,
based on Haffner Energy's HYNOCA® solution, is supported by a
consortium of local players led by car dealer Nedey Automobiles,
and will be located in Brognard (Doubs).
