Air Liquide for Paris 2024: a glimpse of how hydrogen can help decarbonize mobility and more…
— Introduction
Air Liquide was part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 as Official Supporter in Hydrogen. As such, the Group provided hydrogen and the related infrastructure to contribute to the event’s sustainability ambitions. Air Liquide supplied hydrogen of renewable origin to power a fleet of 500 official vehicles, as well as buses and other means of transportation - thereby reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation during the Paris 2024 Games.
From the start, Paris 2024 set an ambitious goal to host a more sustainable event. In showcasing hydrogen as an essential molecule in the energy transition, and by establishing an exceptional network of hydrogen stations in the Greater Paris area - one that will leave a lasting legacy - Air Liquide contributed to this ambition, aligned with the Group’s own purpose to decarbonize industry and heavy mobility.
— Editorial
“The partnership of Air Liquide and the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 is a perfect illustration of collective progress through collaboration. Fully aligned with our convictions, it has been an opportunity to apply our hydrogen expertise and knowledge to the Games’ environmental objectives.?
This involvement has repercussions that go beyond the Paris 2024 event: we’ve proved that there can be concrete solutions for decarbonized mobility. We see this as a strong driver in stepping up the sustainable decarbonization of transport by creating lasting infrastructure that goes beyond Paris 2024…”

— A Look at the World
Cities have a key role to play in decarbonization, particularly when it comes to transport.
The figure: Accounting for 21% of total emissions, transport is the world's second largest greenhouse gas-emitting sector.?

— Highlights
Located in the heart of the French capital, the Place de l’Alma hydrogen station embodies an exceptional network, which will leave its mark as a lasting legacy. This station, and its related network, will contribute to the acceleration of hydrogen as a solution to reduce carbon emissions.
During the Paris 2024 Games, Air Liquide supplied hydrogen of renewable origin to 500 Toyota Mirai vehicles of the official Olympic fleet and five buses, to transport athletes to their Olympic and Paralympic venues around the ?le-de-France region.
During the Paris 2024 Games, Air Liquide supplied hydrogen of renewable origin to power five electro-hydrogen generators at competition venues in Versailles and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. These generators were used to increase local electrical capacity to enable operation of cell phone network antennas during the equestrian, modern pentathlon and golf events.
The Group also supplied the hydrogen needed to refuel the Toyota Hilux hydrogen pick-up prototype used at the Versailles site, as well as other hydrogen vehicle prototypes, including a hydrogen fuel-injected demonstrator car.
