McPhy selected to equip the world's first multi-megawatt hydrogen
power plant
- The CEOG Power Plant (Centrale Électrique de l’Ouest Guyanais
or Western French Guiana Power Plant) will be equipped with 16 MW
of high-power electrolysis supplied by McPhy, contributing to the
massive storage of renewable energy in the form of hydrogen
- With leading partners such as Meridiam, HDF, SARA and McPhy,
the CEOG project illustrates the willingness to cooperate for the
development of a competitive industrial renewable hydrogen
sector
- The first outdoor configuration of McPhy’s alkaline
electrolysis, ideal for installation in hard-to-reach geographical
areas
La Motte-Fanjas, 29 September,
2021 (05.45 pm CEST) – McPhy
(Euronext Paris: MCPHY – ISIN: FR0011742329), (the
“Company”), specialized in zero-carbon hydrogen
production and distribution equipment (electrolyzers and refueling
stations), today announces that it has been selected to equip the
Centrale Électrique de l’Ouest Guyanais (“CEOG” or Western French
Guiana Power Plant), the world's largest power plant project
combining photovoltaic energy and massive storage of 128 MWh,
mainly in the form of hydrogen. The aim of this project is to
produce a stable and continuous power, night and day, like a
thermal power station but without any pollution.
Luc Poyer, Chairman and acting CEO of McPhy,
states: “The CEOG project is distinguished by its scope, its
innovative character and the collaboration of leading manufacturers
in a spirit of industry. We would like to thank Meridiam, SARA and
HDF for having initiated this visionary project. By equipping the
project with a 16 MW electrolysis platform, capable of producing
860 tons of green hydrogen per year, McPhy is demonstrating its
technological and industrial capacity to participate in the CEOG
project. This demonstrates our technological expertise and McPhy's
ability to contribute to the scaling up of hydrogen solutions for
the energy transition.”
The CEOG project, the world's largest
hydrogen power plant project, to massively store renewable energies
thanks to hydrogen
Designed and initiated by Hydrogène de France
(“HDF”) and developed with the financial, strategic and operational
support of Meridiam, a leader in investment and asset management in
public infrastructure serving the local communities, the CEOG
project represents a decisive milestone in the industrialization
currently taking place in the hydrogen sector. Indeed, this major
project allows the massive storage of intermittent renewable
energies, on an industrial scale that is economically viable thanks
to hydrogen.
Combining a photovoltaic solar farm, a
high-power electrolyzer (16 MW), a hydrogen storage unit and
high-power fuel cells, the CEOG plant will produce hydrogen that
will be stored under pressure in tanks. This hydrogen will then be
recombined with oxygen from the air in fuel cells to produce 24/7
non-polluting electricity and secure the supply of a competitively
priced electricity, compared to the territory’s thermal power
plants of the territory, to 10,000 households in French Guiana.
Each stakeholder will bring to the project its
expertise in the fields of production, distribution and storage of
green energies.
- McPhy: a specialist in hydrogen production and
distribution equipment, McPhy will supply the 16 MW Augmented
McLyzer high-power electrolyzer, which will convert the electricity
produced by the photovoltaic park into renewable hydrogen.
- HDF: a global pioneer in hydrogen energy, HDF
develops and operates multi-megawatts Hydrogen-to-Power power
plants, incorporating its high-power fuel cells, to provide
continuous or on-demand electricity from intermittent renewable
energies.
- Meridiam: a leader in public infrastructure
investment and asset management for public authorities.
- SARA (French West Indies refinery limited
company, Group Rubis): a key player in energy production in the
French West Indies and French Guiana for over 50 years.
McPhy's 100% outdoor technology at the
heart of one of the world's largest high-power electrolysis
projects
The 16 MW hydrogen production platform,
scheduled to be commissioned in 2024, will be equipped with McPhy's
“Augmented McLyzer” innovative technology. The unique combination
of high-pressure alkaline electrolysis (30 bar) and high current
density electrodes will enable almost 860 tons of green hydrogen to
be produced per year.
Based on non-polluting energies, CEOG
will avoid the emission of 39,000 tons of CO2 per year
compared to a fossil fuel power plant1.
This project will also be the first time that
McPhy will be offering an outdoor version of its alkaline
electrolysis technology. In addition to being the most suitable
solution for an isolated geographical area, containerization
ensures a high level of profitability for the customer. Indeed, the
reduction in civil engineering costs and the pre-assembly of the
equipment directly in McPhy's plants, make it possible to optimize
time and total installation and assembly costs.
Because of its scope, its innovative nature and
the collaboration of leading manufacturers, this contract positions
McPhy at the forefront of large-scale hydrogen projects.
