Hynamics, the EDF Group's hydrogen subsidiary
We are committed to the production and distribution of low-carbon, renewable hydrogen to invent and build a more sustainable future. As a player in the decarbonization of industrial activities and long-distance mobility, we are making a major contribution to the energy transition by helping our customers reduce their carbon emissions.
We design, install and operate hydrogen production stations and synthetic fuel plants for sea and aviation transport.
Our ambition
Combating global warming and reducing CO₂ emissions
Thanks to water electrolysis, which extracts the hydrogen molecules contained in water, we produce low-carbon, renewable hydrogen without emitting CO₂.
The electricity we use is itself low-carbon: it comes from the energy mix or solely from renewable sources (solar and wind), depending on the rules applicable in the countries where we operate.
Our reason for being
- In-depth decarbonisation of the industrial and long-distance transport sectors, whether by land, sea or air
- Reduce our dependence on fossil fuels by complementing the electrification of transport uses.
- Contribute to the emergence of a strong and innovative European hydrogen industry. We operate in our core countries: France, and the UK.
At Hynamics, we combine the boldness and agility of a young company with the deployment power and know-how of a major international group, the EDF Group.

A political, legislative and regulatory context favourable to the decarbonisation of the industry and the production of e-fuels
The development of hydrogen is in line with the European objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 at national level. Hydrogen is thus becoming a necessary solution for decarbonising sectors where there are no alternative solutions, particularly in very long-distance transport and certain industries. Very ambitious targets for the development of hydrogen produced by electrolysis have been set at European level in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with the aim of ending dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2030...
Our history: pioneering the production of carbon-free hydrogen
The Hynamics story began in 2017, when EDF became interested in hydrogen as an energy storage solution. Low-carbon hydrogen soon revealed its full potential for supplying energy and decarbonising industry and heavy transport, thanks to electrolysis using renewable electricity. In 2018, Christelle Rouillé took the helm of the ‘H2 by EDF’ project, with the active support of Jean-Bernard Levy, Chairman of EDF. In April 2019, Hynamics was officially created with an expert founding team and a validated business model...
An international presence
Headquartered in Paris and with one subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Hynamics develops projects in Europe and internationally.
France
Hynamics is a key player in the French low-carbon hydrogen market. It is developing tailor-made solutions for industry and heavy mobility. At the same time, Hynamics is developing projects to produce synthetic fuels, or electrofuels, made from CO₂ and low-carbon electricity.
United Kingdom
True to Hynamics' DNA, the teams in the UK are supporting the energy and industrial transformation of players in industry and heavy mobility, with tailor-made offers of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen, right through to the production of synthetic fuels for aviation and maritime transport.
