Nel Hydrogen Solutions has entered into an agreement with the Swedish city of Mariestad for the sale and construction of a H2Station.
The hydrogen fueling station will be located in the strategic Gothenburg-Stockholm corridor, and will complete the last leg in connecting the Scandinavian capitals. The agreement has a contract value exceeding €1 million and will be delivered in the forth quarter of 2016.
It forms part of a €100 million H2ME-2 project, co-funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, with whom Nel ASA began work last year.
Jacob Krogsgaard, division manager of Nel Hydrogen Solutions, said: “The City of Mariestad is actively pursuing a strategy of increasing use of renewable energy and fostering a local industry within new technologies. The new hydrogen fueling stations is an important step, as it enables use of hydrogen as fuel for vehicles and creates a platform for new activities within renewable hydrogen production and energy storage.
“In addition, the new station in Mariestad will provide hydrogen fueling in the strategic transport corridor between Gothenburg and Stockholm, enabling hydrogen vehicles to make the cross-country drive between the two cities, for the first time.”
