McPhy Energy Awarded a Landmark Contract in the Industrial Field
for Green Metal Project for Plansee Group in Austria
- Supply of one McLyzer 800-30, which will be operated on the
manufacturing site of Plansee Group based in Reutte, Austria
- A highly innovative low-carbon metal production project,
another key milestone in metallurgy
- Within the framework of this contract, McPhy will also provide
long-term maintenance services
Grenoble, France, May 09, 2023 – 7.30 am CEST
- McPhy Energy, specialized in low-carbon hydrogen production
and distribution equipment (electrolyzers and refueling stations),
today announced the signing of a contract for the supply, assembly
and commissioning of one McLyzer 800-30 with a capacity of 4 MW
with Plansee Group in Austria. The electrolyzer will operate on the
Plansee Group manufacturing site, based in Reutte, Austria, where
green hydrogen shall be used to produce carbon neutral
high-performance metals for various high-tech applications such as
semiconductor, electronics or medical.
Today, hydrogen on the Plansee Group production
site in Reutte is provided through steam reforming as an integral
part of the metal production and is used by the companies Plansee
High Performance Materials and tools manufacturer Ceratizit. The
equipment provided shall enable the site to gradually replace the
production by green hydrogen produced with renewable energy. To
ensure operational reliability and availability, McPhy has also
signed a long-term maintenance agreement in the framework of this
contract.
With this contract, the Group registers another
leading reference in the industrial field by participating in a
highly innovative low-carbon metal production project. The 1st
delivery of green hydrogen is expected to occur by the end of
2024.
Jean-Baptiste Lucas, Chief Executive Officer
of McPhy, comments:
"As energy efficiency has become a key trigger
for green hydrogen investments, especially in the hard-to-abate
markets, we are thrilled to announce our support to Plansee Group
in the completion of this project that will allow to halve its CO2
emissions at the Reutte site by 2025. Moreover, as the
operations will take place in Austria, this collaboration will
allow us to expand our footprint in the DACH1 region, where we are
already well established thanks to our site in Wildau.”
"Currently, hydrogen production from natural gas
causes 50 percent of our CO2 emissions at the Reutte production
site. We can halve these emissions by 2025 with the new hydrogen
electrolyzer," says Ulrich Lausecker, Managing Director of
Plansee High Performance Materials. Plansee's goal is to supply
the site with hydrogen produced CO2-free by 2030.
