Commissioned by retail corporation Colruyt Group and renewable firm Virya Energy, Atawey aims to deploy the stations for refuelling heavy-duty vehicles by 2027.
Precise locations of the stations have not been disclosed. However, Atawey said they will be based on standardised architecture.
In 2024, it acquired a network of 70 stations from electrolyser firm McPhy Energy, which has now been consolidated into John Cockerill Hydrogen. Following the acquisition, Atawey said it operates 51 stations and two production sites in the French Alps.
Jean-Michel Amaré, President of Atawey, said the project strengthens the relevance of hydrogen in decarbonising heavy-duty transport in Europe.
Last June, the firm raised €22m ($25m) from Armour Group and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Industry Future for expanding its footprint in Europe.
This comes amid a European push on hydrogen refuelling infrastructure by mobility players.
EU mandates for green hydrogen in the mobility sector require its use for 1.2% of transport energy by 2030. Companies including MB Energy and Orlen are among those to have installed new stations in the bloc since the start of the year.
