ITM teams up for Dutch project

ITM Power is working with Dutch Fuel Cell consortium (DFC) to develop hydrogen energy systems projects for clean fuel and energy storage applications.

DFC has developed a network of technology and marketing partners in the Benelux coun- tries.

DFC is involved in the deployment of renewable generation and the introduction of zero-emission transportation in cities.

Current projects include city buses and hydrogen refuelling stations, renewable energy supply of mobile telecom base stations and energy storage for renewable energy sites.

ITM Power will provide hydrogen generation, storage and dispensing technology through its HFuel technology platform and hydrogen energy system expertise for integrating electrolysers and fuel cells.

ITM Power chief executive Graham Cooley said: “Partnering with DFC for the development of hydrogen energy projects is a very exciting step for ITM Power; renewable energy policies are well developed in the Benelux countries and the deployment of hydrogen as a clean fuel is gaining momentum.”

Theo Hendriks, DFC managing director, said: We have been impressed with the HOST trials developed by ITM Power in the UK and with the HFuel refuelling station technology.

“Partnering with ITM Power provides the opportunity to introduce their technology to the rapidly expanding alternative energy market in the Benelux coun- tries.”
