AECOM has been appointed to oversee the delivery of the expansion of the Chemours Company’s green H₂ production facility in the Villers-Saint Paul (VSP) region of France. The expansion will allow Chemours to increase capacity and advance technology of its Nafion Ion Exchange materials platform, a key component for electrolyzers to produce green H₂, which will in turn enable Chemours to support the growing market demand for clean H₂ generation, while supporting its broader global decarbonization efforts.

AECOM’s global asset delivery expertise combined with its local presence made it the preferred partner for the expansion. For over three decades, AECOM has been supporting clients in France by providing environmental, engineering and project management services for a wide range of industry sectors and project types. Its work has encompassed projects both in the public and private sectors and has allowed it to align its expertise with the strategic goals of high-profile clients and leading-edge designers. This expansion is expected to benefit the local economy, as it will create new jobs and provide opportunities for companies looking to collaborate with AECOM and Chemours.

“We’re very pleased to have been appointed to manage the delivery of the expansion of Chemours’s capacities in France,” said Colin Wood, chief executive of AECOM’s Europe and India region. “Enabling facilities to produce green H₂ is central to decarbonization efforts and to enabling the clean energy transition. Our track record of delivering large scale project management services internationally, as well as our extensive sector expertise, will help ensure the successful delivery of Chemours VSP.”
