Update on Hydrogen Cost Structure
ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to update the market on the cost structure of hydrogen generated by the Company's HFuel electrolyser platform. In November 2011 the Company announced the cost of hydrogen (in £/kg) derived from electrolysis based on the capital cost and operating efficiency measured during completed HOST trials. This update represents a revised cost structure based on the Company's larger 25kg/24hr stack platform which was launched at the Hannover Messe in April 2012 for larger scale refuelling and gas grid injection applications.
