Official Hydrogen Supporter of Paris 2024

500 hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai will be driven during the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024. Part of the official fleet, these cars will transport officials throughout the event.

As part of its partnership with Paris 2024, Air Liquide will supply these cars with hydrogen from renewable sources, produced from water electrolysis or biomethane with guarantees of origin.

Reflecting its ambition to organize “more sustainable Games”, these hydrogenpowered cars will contribute to Paris 2024’s objective of reducing this edition’s carbon emissions in comparison to previous Games.

Given that transport accounts for a quarter⁽¹⁾ of global CO₂ emissions, the climate emergency requires a range of solutions, including hydrogen. It offers real advantages, including range and minimal charging times, for intensive transport such as the vehicles in Paris 2024’s official fleet that will be in continuous use.

For Air Liquide, the real-world use of hydrogen for mobility at an event of this magnitude will be a powerful force for accelerating hydrogen for mobility, creating long-term infrastructure and uses beyond the Paris 2024 Games.
