McPhy and the University of Florence (UNIFI) sign a joint laboratory & research partnership agreement
McPhy Energy, a leading European player in alkaline electrolyzer technology and manufacturing, announces the signing of a joint laboratory and a research partnership with the University of Florence (UNIFI).
This joint laboratory will provide additional testing capabilities that McPhy will use to enhance the performance of its technologies.
In the fast-growing and highly strategic green hydrogen sector, technological challenges related to reliable testing are significant. By leveraging the academic expertise of the University of Florence to conduct deeper scientific and experimental analysis, McPhy aims to further improve the performance and safety of its solutions. Within the collaboration signed today, McPhy and UNIFI will assess together the latest generation of McPhy stacks, made of extra-large (XL) cells, the base elements of a 4-5 MW capacity electrolyzer that will be launched commercially within 2025 and produced at the Belfort Gigafactory.
This Joint Laboratory & research partnership builds on a successful collaboration between the University of Florence and McPhy, which began three years ago. This partnership has already led to the filing of a joint patent, marking an important milestone in their scientific cooperation. The agreement also highlights the importance of geographical proximity as one of McPhy’s manufacturing plant and testing hub is located in San Miniato, close to Florence (Italy).
