London, 12/11/2018 (informazione.news - comunicati stampa - energia)

, a specialist in hydrogen production, storage and distribution equipment, today announces that it is to install its 15th hydrogen station for the Communauté de Communes Touraine Vallée de l'Indre in Sorigny. The station has the capacity to deliver 20kg of hydrogen per day, able to charge more than a dozen utility vehicles.

The opening of the station constitutes a first step for the Communauté des Communes, which has demonstrated its desire to develop a hydrogen production platform. To be developed in the near future using electricity coming from renewable sources, the platform will be attached to a multiservice transport centre. Coupled with the hydrogen station, this electrolyzer will be able to produce, on-site and on-demand, clean hydrogen for charging vehicles, and achieving a truly zero-emission mobility chain.

Transportation infrastructures are at the heart of the development and economic and social attractiveness of regional areas: movement of people or goods, private, business or local authority use, by road, rail or air etc. The rollout of hydrogen as a clean alternative fuel allows for a long-term vision of regional development. Zero emission mobility helps to make regions more attractive by reconciling ease of use, improved air quality and public health, and encouraging the large-scale rollout of clean energy in the energy mix and creating decentralised value.

McFilling 20-350 technology has been selected by the Communauté de Communes Touraine Vallée de l'Indre for its innovative HYSOPARC project. Intended to fuel the equivalent of a dozen utility vehicles per day, the hydrogen station will be opened in the first quarter of 2019. With capacity of 20kg of hydrogen per day - equivalent to 12 utility vehicles - the McFilling station, the 15 for McPhy, fits in with the first steps of France's strategy of priming the market by simultaneously rolling out captive fleets and stations to fuel them.

However, it should be noted that beyond this inception phase, the market is already set for a change of scale. For example, McPhy is present in the very high capacity (several hundred kilos of hydrogen per day) stations market for fueling large fleets of vehicles, buses and even hydrogen-propelled trains, with the first contract for a hydrogen bus station signed in May in the Hauts de France region.
