[FR] An interview of Laurent Carme, CEO of McPhy : “Si vous voulez lutter contre le changement climatique, vous devez décarboner ces industries. Il n’y a qu’une seule manière de le faire, c’est avec de l’hydrogène zéro carbone”

Jean-Bernard Lévy, CEO of EDF: “We expect hydrogen to be the most effective solution in some sectors of the economy”

[FR] “Le Power-to-gas pourrait être un levier utilisé par la France pour répondre aux objectifs ambitieux qu’elle s’est fixée en termes de production d’EnR et de réduction de gaz à effet de serre. […] Depuis plusieurs années maintenant, on entend parler de « Power-to-gas », c’est à dire de la conversion d’électricité en gaz. Pouvez-vous nous expliquer en quoi cela consiste ? Quel est l’intérêt d’une telle opération ?”

[FR] “Le carnet de commandes de McPhy a gonflé en 2019 et boosté le chiffre d’affaires de l’entreprise drômoise, qui se prépare désormais à industrialiser sa fabrication.”

[FR] “Following this rich and promising year, we are more ready than ever to continue seizing new opportunities, and more particularly projects on an industrial scale in order to sustainably support the necessary transition to a low-carbon, secure and competitive economy.”

[FR release] 1MW electrolysis unit that produces zero-carbon hydrogen from renewable sources designed, manufactured and integrated by McPhy.
“This is the first project of this size in France,” enthuses Anthony Mazzenga, Director of renewable gas at GRTGaz, “This will allow us to test the technologies on a large scale.”

“The EUR30 million Jupiter 1000 power-to-gas project at the port of Marseille is the first industrial scale demonstrator of its type that points the way to a future green hydrogen economy.
[…] “Jupiter 1000 mobilises French partners with complementary skills,” Dagnet added, “including McPhy Energy for electrolysis, Leroux and Lotz Technologies for CO2 capture, and Atmostat and the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission for methane and R&D. The Compagnie Nationale du Rhone provides renewable electricity and will also ensure future remote operation of the facility. Lastly, GRTgaz and Transport et Infrastructures Gaz France will be in charge of the injection into gas networks.”

“Hydrogen energy is at a turning point, with various start-up companies of the past decade transitioning from R&D driven organisations to embrace industrialisation. Scale-up and concrete realisation of hydrogen’s future role is the order of the day.

One such company managing this transformation and preparing for a profitable future, with a purpose, is McPhy Energy. In an exclusive interview to explore the company’s past, present and future, as well as its product differentiation, H2 View spoke with CEO Laurent Carme.”
