ITM Power has opened its first public access hydrogen refuelling station in London at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, the first of three UK stations to be deployed as part of the pan European HyFive project, which was funded by the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCHJU) and the UK Government Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).

Transport Minister Andrew Jones MP, who announced a US$2.8 million (£2 million) government fund to support the roll-out of hydrogen vehicles in public and private sector fleets, said the government is committed to making all cars and vans zero-emission by 2050 and hydrogen vehicles have a huge role to play in delivering cleaner, greener journeys.
