- Qair and Trapil have jointly developed hydrogen, e-SAF and ammonia projects.

France-based renewable energy company Qair and petroleum pipeline operator Societe des Transports Petroliers par Pipelines, known as Trapil, have collaborated to develop hydrogen, e-SAF, and ammonia projects.
Paris-based Qair said the partnership will focus on e-molecule distribution schemes in France and international markets. Under the plan, they aim to decarbonise the entire value chain of e-molecule production and distribution.
Qair said its participation in the initiative stems from its goal of diversifying its product offerings and supporting industrial decarbonisation, especially in air and sea transport. The company works on e-molecule production projects in countries with renewable energy plants, including Brazil, France and Iceland.
Additionally, it is building what will be France’s largest renewable hydrogen production facility. Also, it has e-SAF projects involving the production of sustainable aviation fuel through the synthesis of green hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
“Qair shares with Trapil the same vision of the future of e-molecules, and we are aiming to capitalise on Trapil’s expertise to be ready to deliver competitive products to our clients,” said Louis Blanchard, CEO of Qair.
Qair is developing e-molecule production projects in the regions where the Group operates renewable energy assets, notably Brazil, France and Iceland, to offer a competitive product to European clients.
In France, Qair is building the country’s largest renewable hydrogen production unit and developing e-saf production projects, notably in partnership with Airbus in the Occitanie region. The energy company is also positioned with another e-fuel production project on the Axe Seine, including Le Havre, Rouen, and Paris ports.
Trapil’s networks are strategically positioned along key energy transportation corridors, establishing Trapil as the leading French transporter of liquid energy products. Its primary pipeline network connects the port of Le Havre to the ports of Rouen and Paris, as well as to France’s two major airports, Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.
