* Avoided emissions are an estimate of the impact of a solution on CO2 emissions compared to a reference situation, over the entire life of the product and in a life cycle approach. Between November 2022 & February 2023, McPhy conducted a study with a specialized Consulting firm to calculate the emissions avoided by its products.
** Study made on a captive fleet of light vehicles.

Support the use of renewable energy

McPhy equipment facilitate the energy transition and contribute to the use of low-carbon energies, for the benefit of multiple applications and industrial uses. Aligned with McPhy’s strategy, the development of the use of low-carbon energies and the scaling up of hydrogen will contribute to significantly reduce the cost of equipment, the cost of hydrogen, and, in a virtuous loop, will contribute to increase the use of and access to clean energies for more and more populations.

Support access to decent jobs

Safety is THE priority for McPhy employees. In addition, to support its growth and the growth of its customers and the Hydrogen market, McPhy promises an inclusive, skills-building culture based on principles of fairness and ethics. In a context of accelerated recruitment, to offer stable jobs to all age categories, any form of discrimination or approximation with safety rules in particular is prohibited within internal policies, to ensure an environment conducive to professional development.

Support the fight against climate change.

By its nature, McPhy equipment enables the decarbonization of industry, mobility and energy; decarbonization is the basis of McPhy’s strategy to help its customers, both public and private, in their Net Zero strategies and to sustain the environment in which we exist, especially in terms of climate. Through the commercial and industrial deployment of its advanced technologies, McPhy intends to contribute to the fight against climate change. In addition to the emissions not generated by its customers through their use of McPhy equipment, the Company also wishes to reduce its carbon intensity for scopes 1 and 2.
