GravitHy’s permit application in Fos-sur-Mer advances its 2 Mt/y merchant green iron plant toward regulatory approval, testing the viability of hydrogen infrastructure and green hydrogen production for industrial decarbonization.
French low-carbon iron company GravitHy has taken a big step by filing for building permits and environmental authorization for its innovative hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) and hot-briquetted iron (HBI) facility in Fos-sur-Mer, down in southern France. This application marks the start of the formal regulatory phase for a project that’s aiming to churn out about 2 million tonnes of low-carbon iron each year, backed by a hefty 720 MW of water electrolysis capacity and producing nearly 120,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually right on-site.
This shift means the project is moving from just ideas and early designs into reality,…
