Hydrogenics Announces Electrolyzer Award for Additional California Fueling Station | | Mississauga, Ontario, Canada - December 10, 2009 - Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, today announced that the Company has been awarded a contract for one of its HySTAT-30 electrolyzers to be used at a fueling station in Los Angeles, California. The fueling station will serve vehicles as part of California's "Hydrogen Highway" initiative; Hydrogenics had previously supplied an electrolyzer-based hydrogen generation system to Shell Hydrogen LLC for a similar fueling station on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Los Angeles.
"California's Hydrogen Highway network is meant to support the increasing number of zero emission vehicles that will be available over the coming years," said Daryl Wilson, President and CEO. "A large, reliable fueling infrastructure is critical to the mass adoption of alternative energy vehicles, and Hydrogenics is well positioned for the requisite hydrogen generation. By 2017, the State of California estimates that 50 to 100 retail hydrogen stations will be necessary to meet the demand created by both automotive and bus deployments. Hydrogenics will continue to seek out opportunities for our unique technologies to assist in this rapid growth."
