• McPhy participates in the innovative R-Hynoca project, led by R-ENR, a subsidiary of the Strasbourg energy company R-GDS¹ and Haffner Energy²
• Partner of the project for the mobility part, McPhy will equip the R-Hynoca production site with a double pressure station and a refueling interface for pressurized hydrogen bottles (“tube trailers”)
• With this new benchmark, McPhy stands out among the leaders in hydrogen mobility

La Motte-Fanjas, September 07, 2021 – 7:30 a.m. CEST – McPhy (Euronext Paris Compartment C: MCPHY, FR0011742329), specializing in zero-carbon hydrogen production and distribution equipment (electrolysers and refueling stations), today announces that it has been selected by R-Hynoca to set up the first hydrogen station in Strasbourg. The supply of equipment includes a 350-750 bar double pressure refueling station with a distribution capacity of 700 kg per day, and a refueling point for pressurized hydrogen cylinders (“tubular trailers”).

Luc Poyer, McPhy Interim Chairman and CEO, declared: “We are very happy with McPhy’s participation in this innovative project located in the heart of the Strasbourg metropolis at the crossroads of Europe. The R-Hynoca project, with its decentralized approach, illustrates the complementarity of the different modes of production and distribution of green hydrogen based on the diversity of territories, to which McPhy’s diversified offer responds perfectly.

R-Hynoca is an innovative project which aims to produce green and carbon neutral hydrogen from local biomass. Hydrogen production is ensured by the Hynoca® process developed by Haffner Energy. This hydrogen will be valued as a fuel for low carbon mobility and as a resource for industry. McPhy, project partner for the mobility part, will provide a double pressure station (350-750 bar) equipped with two terminals to supply all types of hydrogen mobility:

• A “Double Pressure” station for light vehicles at 700 bar and 350 bar;
• A “Hi-Flow” station for buses and trucks.

This large-capacity station will deliver 700 kg of green hydrogen per day, allowing the daily refueling of the equivalent of a fleet of 30 buses, or 70 light commercial vehicles, or 150 light vehicles.

McPhy will also equip the site with a refueling point for pressurized hydrogen cylinders (“tubular trailers”) which will be transported for use in mobility or industrial applications other than the hydrogen production point. The commissioning of the station and the refueling interface is scheduled for the end of 2022.

This innovative system architecture offers great flexibility by facilitating hydrogen refueling for all types of mobility, whether on the production site or remotely. Its modular design will make it possible to increase the distribution capacity as the applications are deployed in the territory.

The R-Hynoca project (https://r-gds.fr/projet-r-hynoca/) is funded by the public-private partnership FCH-JU³ within the framework of the H2ME2 program and of the grant agreement n ° 700339. This joint venture is supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, as well as by Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Research.
