From Olympic Hydrogen at the Foot of the Eiffel Tower

Showcase of the network of stations in Île-de-France, the hydrogen station of Air Liquide located in the heart of the capital dresses up for the Olympics.

With the approach of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Air Liquide’s hydrogen station at Place de l’Alma is getting a makeover. Official Partner in the hydrogen category for Paris 2024, Air Liquide will supply it with renewable hydrogen to fuel the official fleet of Paris 2024. This fleet notably includes 500 Toyota Mirai hydrogen cars.

For intensive-use vehicles, hydrogen presents real advantages, particularly enabling quick refueling times and a great driving range. A full tank can be done in about five minutes, with a range of up to 650 kilometers.

Air Liquide also provides financial support to a selection of athletes so they can fully dedicate themselves to their sport and maximize their chances of success. The Air Liquide athletes team consists of six athletes, three women and three men, from three different nationalities and representing five Olympic and Paralympic disciplines:

• Ezra Frech: para-athletics / American
• Kgothatso Montjane: wheelchair tennis / South African
• Yohan Peter: wheelchair fencing (sword) / French
• Margaux Rifkiss: fencing (saber) / French
• Thibaut Rigaudeau: para-triathlon / French
• Laura Tarantola : rowing / French
