McPhy selected to develop the hydrogen infrastructure of the metropolis of Dijon

• ROUGEOT Energie, operating as general contractor EPC¹ on behalf of Dijon Métropole Smart EnergHy, has selected McPhy’s hydrogen production, compression and distribution solution to supply the metropolitan fleet of heavy (buses, garbage trucks) and light (utility and passenger cars) vehicles.
• McPhy will design, build and integrate two hydrogen stations with a capacity of 400 kg of hydrogen per day each, connected to a 1 MW high-power electrolyzer, for a complete zero-emission mobility chain.
• Following the signature of this new contract totaling more than €4 million, McPhy’s references reach a total of 33 stations and 43 MW of high-power electrolysis².

La Motte-Fanjas, July 30 2020 – 07.30 am CEST – McPhy (Euronext Paris Compartiment C: MCPHY, FR0011742329), specialized in hydrogen production and distribution equipment, today announced having been selected to deploy two stations with a capacity of 400 kg of hydrogen per day each, connected to a 1 MW high-power electrolyzer, on the territory of Dijon Métropole.

“The project supported by Dijon Métropole Smart EnergHy contributes to the democratization of hydrogen as a zero-emission alternative for public, professional or private transport. Our stations will make it possible to supply all the hydrogen mobility in the region: buses, garbage trucks, utility and private vehicles. Buses, for example, will be able to refuel with hydrogen produced on site, from household waste or local renewable energies, and travel more than 300 km without emitting any CO₂ or polluting particles. More than ever, we are convinced that hydrogen has a decisive role to play in the fight against air pollution and climate change.”, testified Laurent Carme, CEO of McPhy.

Dijon Métropole is implementing a complete zero-emission hydrogen ecosystem

To promote and develop its hydrogen infrastructure, Dijon Métropole has created, with ROUGEOT Energie, the project company Dijon Métropole Smart EnergHy (DMSE).

The first step of the deployment plan is to implement, in the north of Dijon, a McPhy hydrogen solution composed of two hydrogen stations, coupled with on-site hydrogen production.

Four distribution terminals for both heavy and light vehicles will thus be available to supply the zero-emission vehicles of the collectivity and its partners. This fleet of hydrogen vehicles will initially be made up of 27 buses, 9 garbage trucks and around 15 light vehicles. The project is expected to reach a total of 200 buses, 50 garbage trucks and 250 light vehicles by 2030.
