The refuelling station will be containerised allowing simple transportation to multiple demonstration sites and enabling partners to utilise the refueller without the need for planning permission or large capital investments in on-site infrastructure. The use of ‘green’ electricity from a local renewable source or a green grid contract enables the production of green hydrogen, a zero carbon transport fuel, the company said.
Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, said: “Today’s announcement by the TSB is a clear indication of a renewed commitment by the government to hydrogen generation and utilisation in the UK, and that green hydrogen will play a significant part in its carbon reduction strategy.
“ITM has positioned itself at the heart of the Low Carbon Economy, developing equipment to maximise use of intermittent renewable energy, through energy storage and provision of a clean fuel. We are now well placed to commercialise our products in the key sectors of low carbon transport and the built environment.”
