The national meeting for stakeholders in energy research and innovation
[09 December 2020] This 3rd edition of the Ecotech Energy Meetings organized by Pexe France* (association for eco-businesses carrying out concrete actions to structure the environment sector) and the EnergICs and Extra&co institutes of the Carnot institutes (public research structures in the innovation, labeled by the French Ministry of Research), with the support of the Strategic Sector Committee (forum for exchanges between State-companies for French industry), contributes to the development of the French energy sector, while responding the technological, economic and societal challenges related to the knowledge of new energy systems. Under the leadership of citizens and consumers, in a desire to implement a carbon-free energy mix, the energy sector is changing. The Ecotech Energy Meetings supports this transition, which has already started.
The actors of innovation and those involved in these challenges will be present at this day, which will focus on the sharing of experiences. Among the many topics covered: energy efficiency and decarbonation, production and storage, the recovery plan and the financing of innovation for hydrogen, networks and self-consumption, and finally, resources and recycling new energy systems.
The hydrogen theme at the heart of the France recovery plan…
Let us recall that last September, the French government put in place a stimulus plan allowing France to position itself in sectors of the future. With € 7.2 billion out of the € 100 billion stimulus plan devoted to the H2 sector, the executive gives the H2 sector a central place so that France becomes the first major carbon-free economy in Europe.
Hydrogen, produced from zero-or low-carbon energy, helps fight against global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in the sectors of industry, mobility and energy. One of the objectives of the recovery plan is to achieve, by 2030, 5 GW of zero-carbon hydrogen production capacity by electrolysis. This source of energy is clearly part of the future French energy mix.
… And the Ecotech Energie meeting!
Pierre Lombard, McPhy Sales Director will speak during the session on “Storage and hydrogen recovery in electricity of renewable origin”.

How to decarbonize energy: the very essence of the ATEE’s Power-to-Gas webinar
[October 21st] McPhy participates in the Power-to-Gas Club webinar organized by ATEE, the Technical Energy Environment Association. It will take place online over one day, on “the transformation of electricity into gas, a solution to decarbonize energy and to gain resilience”. The Club gathers stakeholders in the energy sector and allows the sharing of thoughts and the emergence of new projects.
The current context is fundamentally transforming the electricity and gas markets. Decarbonization and massive energy storage in the existing networks are a complete part of the challenges of the energy transition.
It may be recalled, Power-to-Gas consists of replacing part of the gas (in gas networks up to a maximum of 20%) with hydrogen; and thus, increase the part of renewables in the energy mix.
The ATEE’s Power-to-Gas webinar will provide an update on the current state of the national hydrogen strategy, gathering key players, analyzing the projects, and providing insights on future economic models, since the production and massive storage of hydrogen are at the very heart of the Power-to-Gas process.
McPhy is participating in the ATEE’s Power-to-Gas webinar to share its expertise on zero-carbon hydrogen solutions. Save the date – October 22nd, 2020!
Power-to-Gas, a solution in the energy mix and in the storage of electricity: an effective tool supporting the energy transition.
