Hogan Lovells advises Elyse Energy on €70m project financing backed by Bpifrance Strategic Projects Guarantee

Hogan Lovells advised Elyse Energy on the structuring and implementation of a project financing supported by the Strategic Projects Guarantee issued by Bpifrance Assurance Export to finance the eM‑Rhône and BioTJet sustainable fuels projects. The firm advised on the arrangement of a €70 million financing facility, guaranteed under the Guarantee of Strategic Projects granted by Bpifrance Assurance Export. The financing, provided by Société Générale, Bpifrance, Arkéa Banque Entreprises et Institutionnels and Caisse d’Epargne CEPAC, is intended to support the development of two major industrial projects in the sustainable fuels sector: eM‑Rhône, dedicated to the production of e‑methanol for maritime transport and industry; and BioTJet, focused on the production of sustainable aviation fuels. Elyse Energy, founded in 2020, is an independent European industrial SME and a pioneer in the production of sustainable fuels and low‑carbon feedstocks. The company designs, develops, finances, constructs and operates production units that produce sustainable fuels from renewable and nuclear electricity and from recycled carbon sourced from industry or biomass. Hogan Lovells represented Elyse Energy with a team composed by: Romain Marchand (partner), Noémie Lisbonis Boyer (senior associate), Alexia Legrand (associate) and Vivienne Cheng (legal counsel) in Project Finance; Xenia Legendre (partner) and Maximilien Schmitt (senior associate) in Tax; and Xavier Doumen (partner) and Josette Mokuba Iklawa (associate) in Corporate.
