  Intense high-energy photon beams (>1 GeV) with multiple outstanding characteristics, such as energy tunability, good directivity, quasi-monochromaticity, etc., offer numerous novel applications in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, and non-destructive material analysis. Potential applications of the high photon energy include protein crystallography, along with searches for Dark Photons and Axion-like Particles. European X-ray free electron laser based on superconductor linear accelerator is able to generate short high current electron bunches at megahertz intra-train repetition rate in the range of 17.5 GeV energy. We employ its capabilities and show the potential of this facility in the generation of GeV photon energy. We employ laser Compton scattering at the spreader of the south branch FEL line and simulate the generation of GeV photon energy
