Voltera will take the lead in identifying suitable locations, building the stations, and operating them, and Nikola will supply them with hydrogen and provide technical support.

The 1 MW stationary charging system converts hydrogen fuel into electricity, which can then be used to recharge a battery-electric (or other plug-in capable) vehicle.

Government and industry in South Korea are working together to invest in hydrogen as an energy for transport.

Under the agreement, charging stations for Commercial Vehicles (CVs) will be placed every 120km along the main highways of European Union member state countries by 2028, whilst hydrogen refuelling stations will be installed at least every 200km by 2031.

These metallic bipolar plates are engineered to maximise the performance of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers used to produce hydrogen fuel.

Three hydrogen producers have signed strategic partnership deals with Quantron, while Westgass Hydrogen agreed a deal to provide hydrogen fuelling infrastructure for customers in the Nordics.

Costing GBP 100 million, the two-year demonstrator project of a one-megawatt SOEC system will be undertaken in 2024 at Bosch’s site in Stuttgart, with the aim of proving that the technology is both cost-effective and highly efficient in helping decarbonise industrial operations.

Hyvia will use this hydrogen to test out vehicles based on the Renault ‘Master’ LCV platform, producing enough hydrogen to test up to 1,000 fuel cells per year.

The Net Zero Hydrogen Fund was launched in May 2022 to provide up to GBP240m to support new low-carbon and renewable hydrogen production projects in the UK - 15 recipients were awarded in the first funding round.

Quantron states that Norwegian Hydrogen will become its preferred supplier of hydrogen fuel for all of its trucks deployed in Nordic countries – namely, the ‘QHM FCEV’, a range of fuel-cell electric trucks based on the MAN TGX which was showcased at IAA Transportation 2022.

Green hydrogen will be produced using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser system equipment developed by Toyota and used at the Denso plant in Fukushima.

Nikola has agreed to purchase an unspecified number of liquid hydrogen storage tanks, transport trailers, and mobile and modular refuelling stations from Chart, and agreed with Klean to work together in producing hydrogen using energy from recycled waste feedstocks.
