ITM Power launching new large-scale refuelling station designs

Energy storage and clean fuel company ITM Power announced on Monday that it will be launching a series of large-scale refuelling station designs at Hydrogen + Fuel Cells North America, part of the SolarPower International Conference in Las Vegas.

The AIM-traded firm said the large scale refuelling station designs were based around electrolyser configurations of up to 50MW in size, with the capability to produce up to 20 tonnes of hydrogen per day.

It said that was in response to industry demand for larger scale industrial installations for refuelling heavy logistics vehicles, such as road haulage vehicles, ships and trains.

“These new refuelling station designs are being launched in response to a dramatic increase in the number of enquiries for refuelling heavy logistics vehicles at large scale as the viability of hydrogen power continues to gather scale and momentum across a growing number of industrial applications,” said CEO Dr Graham Cooley.

“ITM Power is delighted to be in a prime position to support these important transportation sectors as they plan their transition to a greener vehicle fleet to reduce emissions.

“Air quality and fossil fuel emissions is now a high priority for governments worldwide.”

Separately, ITM Power also announced a “significant increase” in its order pipeline of £4.87m, which had been added over the last two weeks.

The company said it currently had £23.54m of projects under contract and £16.67m of contracts in the final stages of negotiation, totalling £40.21m, subject to exchange rate variation.
