PARIS, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The French government has

selected winning proposals for a hydrogen import terminal, a

renewable fuels facility and a lithium production factory to be

built at the state-run port of Le Havre as part of an effort to

attract industrial investment, the finance ministry said on

Thursday.

The land around the port was labelled a turnkey investment

site under the 30 billion euro "France 2030" plan, allowing

Haropa Port - the public entity that manages the ports of Rouen,

Le Havre and Paris - to launch a tender for green projects.

The three winners will benefit from accelerated approval

procedures, grid connections and aid for preliminary studies

from Haropa.

If built, the projects would represent some 2.6 billion to

2.7 billion euros of investment and 720 jobs, the ministry said.

U.S. industrial gases giant Air Products proposed

building a terminal to import renewable hydrogen for an

estimated 1.1 billion euros, a project expected to generate 270

jobs.

Earlier this year, Air Products signed an agreement to

supply 500,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually from 2030

to 2045 to France's TotalEnergies, for use at the French firm's

Gonfreville refinery in Le Havre.

The second project, submitted by Luxembourg chemicals

company Livista and estimated at 1.2 billion euros, will refine

lithium for use in electric vehicle batteries. The site will

occupy almost half the designated industrial zone and create 300

jobs.

The French renewable energy company Qair plans to build

production and storage facilities for hydrogen and methanol for

500 million euros, which could generate 150 jobs.
