Honda signs hydrogen supply contract for charging stations
Honda has signed a fuel contract with ITM Power for hydrogen supplies at £10 per kilogram. ITM Power has signed 17 fuel supply contracts for its system, which is supported by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), Innovate UK, and the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV). The company aims to expand its network of four publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling stations to 10.

ITM Power has signed a fuel contract with Honda (UK), which will purchase hydrogen at £10/kg (US$12.91/kg). The contract covers fuel dispensed across ITM Power’s hydrogen refueling network. The refueling network has been financially supported by Innovate UK, Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) and the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU).

(The Honda Fuel Cell Clarity has a hydrogen tank capacity of 5.46 kg.)

This is the seventeenth fuel supply contract for refueling fuel cell electric vehicles ITM Power has signed. Honda joins Toyota GB PLC, Hyundai Motor UK Ltd, Commercial Group, Skanska, UlemCo Ltd, Arval UK Ltd, UK Government Car Service, Arcola Energy, Johnson Matthey, Europcar, The Science Museum, JCB, Anglo American, Green Tomato Cars, Yorkshire Ambulance Service and Northern Gas Networks as a fuel customer.

ITM Power is currently rolling out a network of 10 hydrogen refueling stations in the UK of which 4 are now open for public access. Each station produces hydrogen on site via ITM Power’s rapid response electrolyzer system, and can refuel a fuel cell electric car in three minutes, providing 300 to 420 miles of clean emission driving, without compromise to drivers’ normal refueling routine.
