Presentation
McPhy’s storage systems are enabling a real breakthrough in merchant hydrogen distribution and create a viable answer to the rising demand for energy storage.
McPhy’s mission is to industrialize and commercialize an innovative solid-state hydrogen storage technology that offers unique advantages compared to other hydrogen storage solutions.
• Safety: McPhy’s solid-state hydrogen tanks present an unprecedented limitation of risks compared to liquid or compressed hydrogen.
• No compression: McPhy’s systems store hydrogen at a pressure of 10 bars, which is typically the outlet pressure of an electrolyzer, therefore removing the need for a costly and difficult to operate hydrogen compressor.
• Simplicity of use: McPhy’s storage units are easy to install and transport. They do not require the presence of operators or particular maintenance.
• Clean technology: with a 97% efficiency rate, McPhy’s products require less energy than liquid or compressed hydrogen technologies which use up to 33% of the hydrogen energy content for storage. Furthermore the company’s products do not generate any hazardous waste at the end of their life cycle.
• Performance: McPhy has strongly improved the kinetics of solid-state storage and has been able to reach load/unload times of a few minutes. The magnesium hydrides also offer a very high density and reduced footprint versus existing technologies.
McPhy owns exclusive rights on a portfolio of unique patents, which results from over 8 years of research at the CNRS and CEA, in partnership with Joseph Fourier University.
McPhy is lead by an experienced management team combining unique R&D competencies with strong business expertise of the industrial gas market.
