New hydrogen hub in East London

ITM Power announced that following planning approval for a Solar Hydrogen Refueling Station (SHRS) at The Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (CEME), it has signed a memorandum of understanding with CEME. ITM Power and CEME have agreed to collaborate to bring together hydrogen vehicle owners, public sector bodies, academic institutions, training providers and industry partners to develop a major hydrogen training and information initiative on the campus at CEME.

ITM Power currently has £11.5m of projects under contract and a further £8.7m in the final stages of negotiation (£20.2m in total). The H2CEME initiative plans to develop a FCEV Maintenance Training Centre, a Hydrogen Fuel and FCEV Research Institute, a base for ITM Power’s Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) maintenance team in London, a FCEV Car Club, Hydrogen Education Workshops in collaboration with Arcola Energy, as well as to demonstrate electrolyser/PV solar integration, and upgrade the Electrolyser to increase capacity of the SHRS.

In early 2016 ITM Power will install a Solar Hydrogen Refueling Station (SHRS) at CEME. The station will be deployed as part of the HyFive project and will open shortly afterwards. The HyFive project is funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking.

Graham Cooley, CEO, ITM Power, commented: “CEME is a world class organization and we are delighted that they share ITM Power’s vision to develop a hydrogen hub. We look forward to working with CEME toward this exciting common goal.”
