McPhy Energy, a leading European player in alkaline electrolyzer technology, has announced the signing of a Joint Laboratory and research partnership with the University of Florence (UNIFI) to enhance its hydrogen technologies. The collaboration aims to address technological challenges in the green hydrogen sector by leveraging the academic expertise of UNIFI to conduct scientific and experimental analysis. The Joint Laboratory will focus on assessing the performance and safety of the latest generation of McPhy stacks, contributing to the development of a 4-5 MW capacity electrolyzer set to launch in 2025. This partnership builds on their successful collaboration over the past three years and emphasizes the importance of geographical proximity, with McPhy's manufacturing plant in San Miniato near Florence. Prof. Alessandra Petrucci, Rector of UNIFI, highlights the multidisciplinary approach of the University towards energy transition and expresses enthusiasm for the new Joint Laboratory. Benoît Barrière, CTO of McPhy Energy, underlines the benefits of collaborating with academic institutions worldwide to drive innovation in green hydrogen production equipment. McPhy's contribution to low-carbon hydrogen deployment includes providing solutions for industrial, mobility, and energy sectors, with a focus on renewable sources. The company's international presence and partnerships with academic institutions reflect its commitment to developing efficient hydrogen solutions and anticipating future needs.
