USA: Iwatani adds 4 hydrogen stations to its California plans
The four fueling units are an addition to the 14 stations Iwatani ordered from Nel last year.
Iwatani Corporation of America, a key player in California’s hydrogen market, has ordered four hydrogen filling stations from Nel Hydrogen Fueling to expand its first hydrogen fuelling station network in California, according to a press release.
This order of four stations, a deal valued at approximately NOK 40m ($4.6m), is in addition to the 14 stations Iwatani ordered from Nel last year.
“We are very honoured Iwatani have selected our H2Station™ for their first hydrogen fuelling station supported by the grant funding opportunity under the California Energy Commissioning,” said Ulrik Torp Svendsen, Global Key Account Manager at Nel Hydrogen Fueling.
Last year, the California Energy Commission (CEC) made its largest investment in hydrogen infrastructure since 2015, funding upwards of 110 new hydrogen stations to be developed by Iwatani, FirstElement and Shell.
The multi-year grant establishes the stations will be funded over the period 2020-2025, with Iwatani to develop 14 in its first batch.
California’s current hydrogen filling station network comprises 45 sites.
