These commercial successes confirm the relevance of our McFilling “starter kit” that is attracting clients thanks to its competitive price and its performances. This is an equipment that we have specifically scaled to rapidly and efficiently initiate a regional hydrogen project, before helping them deploy larger capacity stations (…)

A genuine driver of economic development and a source of sustainable growth, the objective of the first project located in the Centre Val de Loire region (2) is to convert surplus renewable electricity (wind and solar) into green gas. The resulting zero-carbon hydrogen will partly replace networks fossil gas but also meet clean mobility requirements thanks to the dedicated McFilling 20-350 by McPhy refueling station that will be installed there at the end of the year.

Located in the Grand Ouest region, the aim of the second project (3) is to refuel light vehicles (350 bar and partial refueling of 700 bar vehicles), but also heavy-duty vehicles for transporting people. The McPhy station was installed in mid-March 2020 and a first test phase has been successfully carried out.

Laurent Carme, Chief Executive Officer of McPhy, states: “We are delighted to have been chosen to be involved in two projects aiming to roll-out zero-emission mobility. These commercial successes confirm the relevance of our McFilling “starter kit” that is attracting clients thanks to its competitive price and its performances. This is an equipment that we have specifically scaled to rapidly and efficiently initiate a regional hydrogen project, before helping them deploy larger capacity stations that will meet future growth in their hydrogen needs. In the longer term, our ambition is to continue implementing genuine zero-carbon ecosystems, connected to renewable energy sources, producing zero-carbon hydrogen for value-creating mobility, industrial or energy applications.”

Making it possible to densify the hydrogen infrastructure, McPhy’s McFilling 20-350 station has numerous advantages. It is a robust technology that has demonstrated a very high availability rate. Its compact design and modularity allow it to evolve so as to support any other phase of a project.

The new generation of “starter kit”, selected for the two previously-mentioned projects, has an infrared connector that makes it possible to offer a refueling solution to vehicles with 350 bar pressure and a partial refueling solution (approximately 60%) to vehicles requiring a 700 bar refueling pressure.

McPhy’s “starter kit” model is a tried-and-tested technology that has already been chosen to equip numerous projects, notably for the cities of Paris and Rouen and as part of the “EAS-HyMob” project in Normandy.

Hydrogen is a clean alternative fuel that significantly reduces the transport sector’s pollution. Indeed, a key characteristic of hydrogen vehicles is that they do not emit any pollutants, just water vapor.

With their high degree of autonomy and rapid refueling time, these vehicles are attracting a growing number of communities, constructors, fleet managers, fueling station operators and logistics platform operators. They notably appreciate the perfect combination of ease of use, continuity of service and contribution to the fight against air pollution.

In this context, with 25 stations in reference (4), McPhy is establishing itself as a key partner in the roll-out of zero-emission mobility solutions.
