Our history
MGH Energy is an innovative company committed to Decarbonising sea and air transport.
Its main activity is to develop sustainable fuels production projects in France and abroad, actively contributing to the energy transition in mobility.
MGH Energy also supports the development of low-carbon propulsion solutions for the maritime sector.
MGH Energy is a subsidiary of the SOPER Group, wholly owned by Jean-Michel Germa, a pioneer of wind energy in France and Morocco. In 1989, he founded La Compagnie du Vent, which was acquired by ENGIE in 2017.
THE WORLD'S FIRST 100% ELECTRIC PILOT BOAT
The company designed and built the world’s first fully electric pilot boat, launched in 2021, demonstrating its commitment to technological innovation and environmental sustainability. Powered by a 200 kW electric motor and six onboard batteries, the e-Maguelonne is the world’s first 100% electric pilot boat. Launched in 2021, it is now part of the fleet operated by the pilots of the commercial port of Sète-Frontignan. The conversion of this vessel, originally powered by a conventional combustion engine, represents a further step towards decarbonising port operations and the maritime industry.
WIND-POWERED MARITIME TRANSPORT
As part of its maritime transport decarbonization strategy, MGH Energy acquired a 25% stake in the start-up Zéphyr & Borée in 2019. This shipping company designs and markets low-carbon maritime transport solutions on an industrial scale by combining wind propulsion, speed reduction, and the use of alternative fuels to fossil energy.
The company is notably behind the modern sail-powered cargo ship Canopée, developed in partnership with Jifmar to meet ArianeGroup's needs. It is also currently working on developing a transatlantic container transport line. With its "low-carbon" ship projects, Zéphyr & Borée is driving the development of more sustainable and responsible maritime transport.
