Regulatory News:

After taking the first step towards industrialization with the acquisition of Jacquier in June 2023, Haffner Energy (ISIN code: FR0014007ND6 - Mnemonic: ALHAF) is pleased to announce that it has completed the first stage of financing for its founding project to build its first large-capacity plant in Saint-Dizier (Haute-Marne), where its renewable gas and hydrogen production modules will be manufactured and assembled, thanks to the support of the French State through the France 2030 program operated by Bpifrance and its local institutional partners, including the Grand Est region and the GIP Haute-Marne. At the same time, Haffner Energy has embarked on another short-term structuring project with the establishment of a test and training center for research and development purposes in Marolles, in the immediate vicinity of its head office in Vitry-le-François and at the heart of the "Pays Vitryat" industrial region (Marne).

At a time when the French government has just selected 183 new territories as part of its "Territoires d'industrie" program aimed at reindustrializing France, Haffner Energy, a specialist in biomass energy recovery, is reaffirming more than ever its commitment to making a lasting contribution to the goal of industrial reconquest and territorial development through these two strategic projects.

A player in the energy transition for over 30 years, with strong roots in the Grand Est region, Haffner Energy designs and supplies pioneering decarbonization solutions for players in mobility, industry and local authorities.

Haffner Energy's strong ambition to bring its technology to industrial scale is now being translated into a larger-scale project with the choice of the town of Saint-Dizier for the deployment of its future high-capacity assembly plant (gigafactory), as announced by the Company at the time of its IPO in February 2022.

This project was submitted as part of the France 2030 "Première Usine" call for projects, operated by Bpifrance in autumn 2022. After a demanding selection process, Haffner Energy is particularly proud to announce that its gigafactory project named "FactorHy" has been selected, marking a new strategic milestone for the company.

"I'm very pleased to witness the successes of Haffner Energy, with the support of France 2030, which has been present at every stage of the company's development. After being supported in 2018 by a France 2030 grant (PIA) operated by Ademe, to develop an initial demonstrator, the company moved on to a full-scale demonstrator in Strasbourg, with the support of the Grand-Est region. Finally, Haffner Energy has just received further support from France 2030 to build its first high-capacity assembly plant for its biogas and renewable hydrogen production modules in the Grand Est region.
