New partnership will reinforce hydrogen fueling network in the UK

ITM Power, energy storage and clean fuel company, has signed a strategic agreement with Shell for the delivery of Hydrogen Refueling Stations (HRS) on three Shell retail forecourts in the UK. These three HRS deployments will be the first to be integrated onto forecourts in the UK.

“This agreement and the OLEV (Office for Low Emission Vehicles) funding for these new refueling stations in the South East is an important step in developing hydrogen mobility in the UK,” said Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power.

ITM Power announced on 28 March 2015 that it had been awarded £1.89m by OLEV to invest in two new HRS in London at strategic locations suitable for use by Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). Both HRS will incorporate on-site hydrogen generation using the Company’s PEM HGas electrolyzer platform.

Additional financial support of £1.7m is being contributed by the FCH JU (Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking) to provide support for the operation of these stations in the early years. Following the agreement with Shell, at least one, possibly two, of these HRS will be built under the OLEV scheme.
