NIKKISO CLEAN ENERGY & INDUSTRIAL GASES GROUP WINS MULTIPLE HYDROGEN FUELLING STATION CONTRACTS

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (CE&IG), a part of the Nikkiso Co Ltd (Japan) group of companies, has won multiple contracts to provide over a dozen hydrogen fuelling stations (HFS) to customers in California and South Korea.

These stations, intended to be operational between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024, cover fuelling stations for light-duty, heavy-duty, and transit fuel cell vehicles that need H35 and H70 dispensing, according to a statement.

“As an ambassador member of the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) and core leader of cryogenic technology, Nikkiso is key in connecting the hydrogen ecosystem to advance the clean energy agenda,” said the chief executive officer of Nikkiso CE&IG Peter Wagner.

The purchase orders have a combined value of almost US$60 million. Nikkiso has dedicated over 150,000 ft2 (14,000 m2) square feet of floor space to mass-produce hydrogen fueling stations in Murrieta, CA, Escondido, CA, Busan, S. Korea, and Neuenbürg, Germany. (US$1 = RM 4.485)

Every station will be manufactured to comply with the local content requirements, including the Buy America Act for the US Hydrogen Hub market.

Starting with these hydrogen station projects, the Nikkiso Group aims to further expand its hydrogen-related business by strengthening its participation in the hydrogen supply chain and expanding into the global market.
