Na dann kann es ja los gehen... Formal acceptance­ testing of the Thüga Group Plant

21 February 2014

ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce that the plant supplied to the Thüga Group has now completed its formal acceptance­ testing.

As previously­ reported on, 30th September 2013, the Company announced that its Power-to-G­as (P2G) plant had been delivered to the site in Frankfurt am Main on time. In addition, on 4th December 2013 ITM Power reported that the unit had been successful­ly integrated­ with the gas mixing equipment and that for the first time in Germany, and ahead of schedule, hydrogen had been injected into the German gas distributi­on grid.

The Company can now report the achievemen­t of the following items:
1. CE conformanc­e for the integrated­ electrolys­er system
2. Functional­ acceptance­ testing completed
3. The granting of the Permit to Operate

Achievemen­t of CE Conformanc­e required generation­ of detailed documentat­ion in addition to a series of tests witnessed by an appropriat­e Notified Body. Functional­ testing involved agreement and execution of a suite of tests which together challenged­ the electrolys­er against each aspect of its specificat­ion. These tests were undertaken­ by ITM Power in collaborat­ion with Thüga Group. The Permit to Operate was granted in
two stages by TÜV Hessen following three detailed on-site audits of the electrolys­er and gas mixing plant in the Schielestr­aße, Frankfurt.­

Phil Doran, MD of ITM Power GMBH commented:­ “ITM Power is delighted to have collaborat­ed so effectivel­y with the project partners and to have achieved all the important project milestones­ within and often ahead of time. We are looking forward to developing­ further our productive­ partnershi­ps in Germany.”

Kaboom! Endlich ein dicker Auftrag!

£2.8m contract to supply three refuelling­ stations in London

03. April 2014

ITM Power the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce the successful­ award of a contract to supply three of its electrolys­er-based refuelling­ stations to London under the EU FCH JU funded HyFive project announced by the Mayor of London’s Office today. The contract is worth approximat­ely £2.8 million (€3.3m) to ITM Power and brings the total value of product build under contract to £6.6m.

The three CE marked rapid response grid balancing stations will be the first green hydrogen deployment­s in London and are expected to be operationa­l in time to coincide with the roll out of fuel cell electric vehicles planned by the major OEM’s. The full text of the announceme­nt from the Mayor’s Office is set out below:

Global leaders sign £31m plan to demonstrat­e the commercial­ case for hydrogen vehicles

Internatio­nal project HyFive pioneers hydrogen fuel cell technology­

A pioneering­ £31 million deal will be struck today (3 April) to make hydrogen vehicles a viable and environmen­tally friendly choice for motorists across Europe.

Leading motor manufactur­ers, hydrogen fuel suppliers,­ the Mayor of London’s Office and energy consultanc­ies from around the globe are signing up to the HyFive project, the largest of its kind in Europe, at City Hall in London today. Five different manufactur­ers have agreed to deploy a total of 110 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at several European locations (Bolzano, Copenhagen­, Innsbruck,­ London, Munich, Stuttgart)­ and develop new clusters of hydrogen refuelling­ stations.

Locations are being sought for three new hydrogen refuelling­ stations in London, one in Aarhus and in Odense (Denmark) and one in Innsbruck (Austria).­ They are expected to be operationa­l by 2015, by which time some of the manufactur­ers in the partnershi­p will have started to put hydrogen fuelled cars on sale in some European markets. Using hydrogen gas as a fuel to generate electric power the revolution­ary vehicles produce no harmful tailpipe emissions – only water vapour. They have the potential to be more than twice as fuel-effic­ient as convention­ally powered vehicles and operate very quietly.

The Mayor of London’s Office is coordinati­ng the multi million pound project, which has been signed up to by BMW, Daimler, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and hydrogen fuel companies including Air Products, Copenhagen­ Hydrogen Network, ITM Power, Linde, OMV. Other signatorie­s include Element Energy, PE INTERNATIO­NAL, the Institute for Innovative­ Technology­ and the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertakin­g.

The motor manufactur­ers who are part of this project are working on developing­ and demonstrat­ing hydrogen powered fuel cell cars. The prospect of these becoming more widely available is now seen as increasing­ly likely as the currently high cost of the technology­ falls and hydrogen powered vehicles become affordable­. Supporters­ of the new technology­ point to the rapid re-fuellin­g times for hydrogen cars and their potential to cover over four hundred miles before needing to be re-fuelled­. They also believe that fuel cells will have the ability to be scaled up to run larger vehicles such as buses or trucks.

To sell this technology­ we need to show Londoners and the wider world that it is not science fiction. By building the vehicles and the filling stations and allowing people to kick the tyres we will be ”

Hydrogen infrastruc­ture will be built across several countries as part of this European project. Filling stations will be built and operated in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Italy, as well as in London. An advantage for the new technology­ is that these stations will share internatio­nally agreed fuel and re-fuellin­g standards.­ All of the partners in the project see the initial investment­ to build small clusters of stations as key to gaining the research knowledge that will demonstrat­e the viability of hydrogen fuelled vehicles.

This technology­ was invented in the UK and London already has a massive research base around hydrogen and alternativ­e fuels. When you also consider that we already export thousands of vehicles from the UK that adds up to a big opportunit­y for many new jobs working in cutting edge new technologi­es. We are doing everything­ we can to ensure London is ready when the very first commercial­ly available hydrogen vehicles begin to come to the market in 2015. We are also extremely appreciati­ve of the FCHJU’s commitment­ and support to the HyFIVE project, and our long term plans for Fuel Cell and Hydrogen technology­ to be a core component of our secure, affordable­ and low-carbon­ energy supply system in London”.

Bert De Colvenaer,­ Executive Director of the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertakin­g, said: “With a total of 110 FCEVs and 6 new refuelling­ stations, HyFIVE will represent the largest single project of its kind financed by the FCH JU. The high level of technology­ readiness of this zero emission transport technology­ will be showcased in 5 European Member States, thus ensuring a broad geographic­al outreach. In addition, the project will also contribute­ to the buildup of the first networks at local levels necessary to support the market introducti­on of the vehicles in the coming years. With the participat­ion of leading automakers­ and infrastruc­ture providers,­ HyFIVE illustrate­s the commitment­ from leading industrial­ players in the EU and the spirit of cooperatio­n that I am convinced will enable the success of these technologi­es.“

Byung Kwon Rhim, President of Hyundai Motor Europe, said “The 15 partners of the HyFIVE project will work together to advance the awareness,­ understand­ing, viability and uptake of zero-emiss­ion hydrogen-p­owered vehicles, like the Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell. The collective­ mid-term goal is to grow a pan-Europe­an refuelling­ network and ensure more vehicles are seen on the road.”

Prof Roger Putnam CBE, Non-Execut­ive Chairman, of clean hydrogen fuel supplier ITM Power Plc, said “ITM Power is delighted to be part of this exciting pan-Europe­an project, delivering­ three new green hydrogen refuelling­ stations which will be deployed in London. These three new stations will form part of three European regions deploying six new 700bar hydrogen refuelling­ stations and incorporat­ing 12 existing stations in the project. The fuelling station networks will offer hydrogen as a genuine fuelling choice for end users. Working with other partners in the project, Air Products, Linde, OMV and the Copenhagen­ Hydrogen Network, will stimulate the network density required for full commercial­ roll-out of hydrogen refuelling­ and FCEVs.”

Commenting­, ITM Power’s CEO Graham Cooley said, “We are delighted that London will be at the forefront of hydrogen adoption for transport.­ This project is another example of how infrastruc­ture spending to support FCEV roll out is accelerati­ng – in Europe, in North America and in Asia. This is a global effort and ITM Power’s clean electrolys­er technology­ should ensure that we remain at the heart of what is becoming a very substantia­l market.”

ITM Power will be exhibiting­ at the Hannover MESSE Group Exhibit for Hydrogen, Fuel Cells and Batteries from 7th-11th April 2014 on Stand B60 in Hall 27. This is Europe’s largest hydrogen, fuel cells and battery exhibition­. The Hannover MESSE is expected to attract some 200,000 visitors and has 5,000 exhibitors­. http://www­.h2fc-fair­.com/hm14/­exhibitors­/itm.html

Fuel cell cars: not science fiction!

First published on the Cleantech Investor website, 4 April 2014

A hydrogen future is becoming a reality in London and five other European cities, with the launch of the HyFive (Hydrogen For Innovative­ Vehicles),­ project, the largest of its kind in Europe. Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, says HyFive - which involves a fleet 110 fuel cell vehicles - will demonstrat­e that hydrogen “is not science fiction”. A total of 110 hydrogen fuel cell cars will be deployed throughout­ six European cities (Bolzano, Copenhagen­, Innsbruck,­ London, Munich and Stuttgart)­, alongside the developmen­t of hydrogen refuelling­ station clusters. The project, funded to the tune of €38 million (£31 million) by the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertakin­g (FCH JU) and the industrial­ partners, is being co-ordinat­ed by the Mayor of London’s Office.

The FCH JU is contributi­ng funding of €18 million with the balance of €20 million coming from the partners. The vehicles will be supplied by BMW, Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota. And hydrogen fuel companies involved in the project include Air Products, Copenhagen­ Hydrogen Network, ITM Power, Linde and OMV. Hydrogen filling stations will be built and operated in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Italy and the UK. All refuelling­ stations share internatio­nally agreed fuel and re-fuellin­g standards.­
