In a significant development in the renewable energy sector, ITM Power PLC is delighted to announce a landmark capacity reservation with Shell Deutschland GmbH. This agreement marks a crucial step forward in green hydrogen production, with Shell securing future production capacity for ITM’s state-of-the-art electrolyser stacks. The reservation encompasses 100MW of TRIDENT electrolyser stacks, slated for manufacturing in the calendar years 2025 to 2026. This production is in connection with the Refhyne 2 project at the Shell Energy and Chemical Plant in Rhineland, Germany, pending a final investment decision.

Significant Milestone for ITM Power in Green Hydrogen Production

ITM Power’s CEO, Dennis Schulz, expressed his enthusiasm about the agreement, highlighting it as a testament to ITM’s technology and its capability to deliver at scale. Schulz noted, “Today’s announcement is yet another validation of our technology and credibility to deliver at scale, providing reassuring recognition by a world-leading industrial customer.” He also emphasized the growing challenge for customers in securing credible large-scale delivery capability within the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser sphere, especially given the rapidly increasing demand.
