Présentation

Areas with little or no interconnection to the major electricity grids, and in particular islands, rely in most cases on fossil fuels for their electricity production, which implies high levels of emissions and pollution, but also higher costs than those found on the continents. In order to reduce their energy dependence while contributing to the achievement of carbon neutrality, the use of renewable energies is favored, but they need to be coupled with storage means to cope with their variability and intermittency.

The HyLES project studies the roles and impacts that hydrogen can have to accompany a transition towards energy independence.
