McPhy Energy Announces CEO's Departure
Jean-Baptiste Lucas, the current CEO of McPhy Energy, has announced his resignation, effective from an unspecified date in the future, with the latest being no later than July 31, 2025. The announcement was made on April 7, 2025, at 7:45 am CEST, in Foussemagne, France.
Luc Poyer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, made a statement regarding the CEO's resignation. He acknowledged the involvement, rigor, and courage shown by Lucas during his tenure at McPhy Energy, particularly in a complex environment.
McPhy Energy, a leading manufacturer of alkaline electrolyzers, confirmed that Lucas succeeded the previous CEO but did not provide details about who he directly succeeded or the exact end date of his tenure as CEO. However, it is confirmed that as of July 2025, Lucas is recognized as the CEO in the context of McPhy Energy-related discussions.
The search for a new CEO is currently ongoing, with the Board of Directors initiating a search process in collaboration with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The exact timeline for the appointment of Lucas's successor is yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, McPhy's core assets were acquired by John Cockerill Hydrogen effective from 8 July 2025, following a judicial reorganization leading to the liquidation of McPhy. This likely means the company's executive structure, including that of the CEO, effectively ended or changed around that date.
Despite the upcoming changes, McPhy remains committed to its mission of providing innovative solutions for the production of green hydrogen. The company continues to make strides in the industry and looks forward to the future with optimism and determination.
McPhy Energy's core assets transitioned to John Cockerill Hydrogen on July 8, 2025, indicating a probable alteration or end of the company's executive structure around that date, including the CEO position. The company, nonetheless, remains focused on its mission in the energy industry, aiming to offer innovative ideas for green hydrogen production, maintaining its resolve to progress in the business and finance sectors.
