Fuel cell technology shines sustainable light on the Eiffel Tower
Power provided by EODev GEH2 generator, featuring Toyota’s fuel cell technology. Green lighting symbolises the use of carbon free renewable hydrogen. Reinforces Toyota’s aim to support widespread fuel cell usage to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate the growth of a hydrogen society
People passing the Eiffel Tower last night will have seen the iconic Parisian landmark sustainably illuminated in green, as part of the “Paris de l’hydrogène” event organised by Energy Observer1. The choice of green light symbolises the certified renewable hydrogen used to power the Toyota fuel cell inside the hydrogen GEH2® generator developed by EODev (Energy Observer Developments).
The GEH2® generator is also powering the Energy Observer village during its event at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Many companies which provide hydrogen energy and mobility solutions are presenting their vehicles and applications to demonstrate a sustainable and innovative perspective on the cities of tomorrow.
Multiple applications using Toyota hydrogen fuel cell technology are also on display, including the new Mirai, a city bus produced by CaetanoBus and the REXH2® maritime range extender & the GEH2® generator developed with EODev. These products are all in the market today, providing real-world solutions and raising awareness amongst governments, industry, media, customers and the public.
As the Official Mobility Partner for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Paris has a special significance for Toyota. During the Games, Toyota will provide zero-emission vehicles and advanced mobility products to highlight its commitment to zero-emission mobility solutions and “Mobility for All”.
