Nel ASA: Awarded $7.71 Million for Three Hydrogen Fueling Stations

December 20, 2017
  • Estonia station – first to utilize Proton PEM electrolysers with
    H2Station® fueling solutions in Europe
  • Akershus stations – vital links in Norway’s hydrogen fueling network

WALLINGFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Electrolyser–Nel Hydrogen Solutions, a division of Nel ASA (Nel, OSE:NEL), has
received $7.71 million in contracts for three hydrogen fueling stations.
The first station will continue the success of combining Proton PEM
Electrolysis with a Nel H2Station®, and follows the $8.3 million
contract announced in September for Sunline
Transit Agency in California. This Proton PEM
Electrolysis/Nel H2Station® fueling solution will be built for NT Bene
in Pärnu, Estonia and will have a hydrogen capacity greater than
400kg/day. In addition, Uno-X Hydrogen AS, a Nel ASA joint venture, has
been awarded a grant from Enova SF, for two hydrogen fueling stations in
Akershus, Norway.

“We are pleased to make a first sale of using Proton PEM Electrolysis
combined with the Nel H2Station in Europe. This is a compact and
competitive solution for H2Stations for heavy duty vehicles in Europe,”
says Jacob Krogsgaard SVP Nel Hydrogen Solutions. The Estonia H2Station
will serve cars, busses and trucks.

“Nel’s building of two additional hydrogen fueling stations in
Akershus will ensure a solid, initial network of fueling stations in the
county. It also marks an important step in establishing a network of
hydrogen fueling stations for wide-spread use of hydrogen vehicles
throughout Norway by 2020. The support is also another positive signal
from the government recognizing hydrogen as an important zero-emission
fuel for the Norwegian transport sector,” says Jon André Løkke, CEO
of Nel.

Enova SF is a Norwegian public enterprise responsible for the promotion
of environmentally friendly production and consumption of energy.

“The market for hydrogen fueling solutions is in an exciting growth
phase globally, and it’s great to see that the Norwegian government
through Enova is recognizing this. Akershus has been the leading region
in Norway on hydrogen mobility, and we are happy to support its
continued development by establishing two additional hydrogen stations
in the region,” says Løkke.
