May Gurney Join ITM Power's Hydrogen On Site Trials

ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce that May Gurney Integrated Services plc ("May Gurney") have signed an agreement to participate in the Hydrogen On Site Trials (HOST) of ITM Power's transportable high pressure refueling unit (HFuel). The HFuel unit was built with support from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and launched at the Company's AGM on 15th September 2010.

May Gurney is committed to helping clients deliver sustainable improvements to front-line services across the UK. In the public sector these include highway, environmental, recycling and facilities services. In the regulated sector the company provides utility maintenance services to the water and telecommunications industries, conducts railway maintenance in conjunction with Network Rail and also plays a vital role in the regeneration and maintenance of the UK waterways network. The company has a policy of reducing carbon emissions and has recently transferred its electricity contract to a renewable energy supplier. The company is also trialing hybrid commercial vehicles and mixing regular and bio fuels to achieve their carbon reduction goals.

Commenting for ITM Power, CEO Graham Cooley said: "May Gurney offer ITM the opportunity to test the fit of our green hydrogen fuel into the infrastructure of a national company delivering services in all of the public and service sectors. This trial will build on the assessment of our energy storage and clean fuel technology for decarbonising return to base logistics fleet vehicles."

Commenting for May Gurney, Operations Director, Nicholas Salt, said: "As a company we are continuously striving to reduce our impact on the environment, whether through recycling, energy efficiency or the use of renewable energy sources wherever possible. ITM's HFuel unit gives us an ideal opportunity to test a zero carbon footprint fuel within the normal duty cycle of our workload. We are excited to be contributing to this trial and hope that we can take advantage of this technology in the future."
