Eu Grant Award

ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the clean fuel and energy storage company, announces that it has received confirmation of a €1.35m (£1.09m) grant award to a consortium to develop supply chains for PEM electrolyser components. The Company's share of this award is €0.36m (£0.29m).

In the three year programme, ITM Power will be working with consortium members Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-ITAE); European Commission, Directorate-General; Joint Research Centre, Institute for Energy and Transport (JRC); Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS); Solvay Speciality Polymers Italy; and TRE S.p.A Tozzi Renewable Energy. CNR-ITAE will have overall management responsibility for the project. The programme, known as the ELECTROHYPEM project and funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (SP1-JTI-FCH.2001.2.7) addresses the validation of developed materials for residential applications in the presence of renewable power sources.

700bar Dispensing Collaboration in Germany

ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with GHR Hochdruck-Reduziertechnik GmbH ("GHR"), part of IMI plc, to collaborate on the deployment of dual 700bar and 350bar hydrogen refuelling products for the German Mobility market.

GHR has developed a mobile hydrogen dispenser for both 700 bar and 350 bar refueling which has been in use for several years in Germany. The strong pedigree in fluid control and pressurized systems also makes GHR an important partner in the supply chain for high pressure components.

Capability to refuel to 700 bar is of key importance as automotive OEM's have specified this higher pressure for the fuel cell vehicles to be rolled out as part of the German and UK Mobility programmes.

The agreement will see the integration of an ITM Power hydrogen generation system with a GHR dispenser to fully address the requirement for green, 700 bar hydrogen refueling within the German market. ITM Power and GHR will combine their experience of achieving product compliance to provide a fully certified solution. The first embodiment will be used for refueling demonstrations, tendering and ultimately product roll out.

ITM Power and GHR are now in a position to offer a full refuelling solution in Germany.

Technology Strategy Board Grant Award.

ITM Power, the energy storage and clean fuel company, has been awarded a grant by the Technology Strategy Board, the Government's innovation agency, for a project that will build and integrate into the power system, a hydrogen energy storage and vehicle refuelling system on the Isle of Wight.

The project will be led by ITM Power in a collaboration with SSE, Toshiba, IBM, Cable & Wireless Worldwide, National Physical Laboratory, Cheetah Marine, Arcola Energy, Ecoisland Community Interest Co, ("Ecoisland CIC") and the Universities of Glamorgan and Nottingham. ITM Power will receive £1.3m of grant funding directly with a further £1m going to the collaboration partners who are integrating their equipment with ITM Power's refuelling technology. The total project value is £4.66m


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.

Sale of Equipment to CEA

ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce the sale of a hydrogen generation system to CEA Grenoble, France.

The CEA, a French government-funded technological research organisation, will use the 5Nm3/hr unit in a project targeted at the storage of renewable energy. The ITM Power electrolyser will be fed by a power simulator designed to mimic various forms of renewable energy. The hydrogen will be produced on site and stored in a metal hydride system before being used in a fuel cell to generate renewable power on demand and to supply green hydrogen.

The unit will be built in the UK and housed within a containerised platform that will be shipped to France as a fully CE marked plug and play unit.

Excellent agreement ! takes them into all sorts of markets........might take some time but the sp should rebound from here......when I think that the sp was at 50p and now we are just hovering above the 30p mark.....looking at the chart for the last year : the sp has never been so low and yet funding has been completed and the company is making big strides into different markets....

Some buys this morning...rampety..rampety..ramp....we've got the power....
