McPhy to Supply Electrolysers for HyLion Project in Scotland
Key Ideas
  • French company McPhy will provide 80MW of electrolysers for the HyLion pilot project in Scotland to produce 45,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually from 2028.
  • CO2 needed for methanol production will be captured from nearby whisky production and E.ON's biomass power plant in Lockerbie.
  • Offtakers for the e-methanol are P1 Fuels and Cadeler, who will use it as a base chemical and shipping fuel respectively.
  • The project aims to utilize green hydrogen in producing e-methanol, contributing to sustainability and the decarbonization of the shipping industry.
French manufacturer McPhy has been selected to supply 80MW of electrolysers for the HyLion pilot project in Scotland. The project is set to commence production of 45,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually starting from 2028. The process of producing this e-methanol will involve capturing CO2 emissions from nearby whisky production as well as from E.ON's Steven's Croft biomass power plant located outside Lockerbie where the HyLion project will be situated. Two offtakers, P1 Fuels from Germany and Cadeler from Norway, are already aligned to receive the e-methanol. P1 Fuels will utilize it as a base chemical, while Cadeler plans to use it as a shipping fuel. This initiative paves the way for the integration of green hydrogen in the production of e-methanol, which serves as a significant step towards sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions in the shipping sector. The HyLion project represents a collaborative effort towards a more environmentally friendly future.
