McPhy Energy to supply solid hydrogen storage solution to Iwatani Corporation, Japan’s market leader
McPhy Energy has announced that the company has signed a contract with the Iwatani Corporation to supply a 4 kilogram solid hydrogen storage solution. Because the hydrogen is stored as a solid in the form of magnesium hydrides, the McPhy system does not require compression. This results in an innovative solution for safe, reversible hydrogen storage, with excellent energy efficiency.
McPhy will install a complete system for industrial hydrogen storage at an Iwatani facility in Japan. The contract was signed just one year after the two companies first met at the 2010 International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Expo in Tokyo. Over the past year, Iwatani experts have evaluated the McPhy system, visiting installations at the French national CNRS and CEA research institutions.
