Local aspects

In the industrial port zone of Le Havre

FRANCE KEREAUZEN is located at the northeastern end of the industrial port zone, on HAROPA PORT’s Grand Canal du Havre site, previously occupied by a Lafarge cement plant. On this site, FRANCE KEREAUZEN will benefit from all infrastructures, industrial processes and know-how available in the area, which will foster its development.

Multiple benefits for the region

FRANCE KEREAUZEN is fully aligned with the dynamics of the Le Havre area, a major industrial basin and pioneer in decarbonization and energy transition. The project has been awarded the “Le Havre, Ville portuaire intelligente” label.

ENGIE is determined to contribute to the reindustrialization of the area: FRANCE KEREAUZEN will provide over 100 direct jobs. It is in close contact with elected representatives, training organizations and universities to ensure that local job supply and demand are matched.

ENGIE is also keen to develop long-term partnerships and exchanges with a wide range of local players. First and foremost, the exchange of energies (hydrogen, waste heat) and the recycling of CO2 from Le Havre-based manufacturers form the basis of the project’s circular economy approach. FRANCE KEREAUZEN is also enthusiastic about knowledge-sharing with Le Havre’s academic world. An academic collaboration has already been initiated with several higher education institutions of the Le Havre and Normandy region.
