Dijon Métropole Smart Energy (DMSE)

Project

The objective of the DMSE project is to develop an offer for the production and distribution of low-carbon hydrogen by electrolysis to supply the entire network of buses and household waste dumpsters in Dijon Metropole as well as private vehicles.

The project consists in building two stations. The first station, with a start-up capacity of 1 MW, will be commissioned by the end of 2024. Different electrolysis units and capacities are planned and are correlated to the acquisition of buses.
