Hydrogen firm secures £2.25m contract
Logan Energy, the Edinburghbased firm that specialises in harnessing hydrogen for clean energy, has won a £2.25 million contract to deliver two refuelling stations in England.
The company has been named as the preferred partner to supply and operate the facilities that will refuel hydrogen-powered cars and vans in Teesside.
The initial four-year contract is part of a UK government project, funded by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles’ Hydrogen for Transport Fund, which aims to deliver five hydrogen refuelling stations across the UK.
Bill Ireland, chief executive of Logan Energy, said: “This initiative provides an opportunity to leverage its industry experience and deliver its first commercial hydrogen supply and refuelling contract for passenger vehicles.
“Tees Valley has a long and successful relationship with hydrogen energy that is unparalleled across the UK. It is an ideal location to demonstrate a viable, renewable hydrogen supply-and-demand scenario that has the potential to be replicated not just regionally but in towns and cities throughout the UK, Europe and further afield.
Logan Energy has supported the development and deployment of zero emission technologies throughout the UK and Europe, most notably in Northern Ireland where it is now responsible for the hydrogen production, distribution, and refuelling process for the Belfast Bus Project.
In Tenerife it is working on a project to produce hydrogen from seawater to power local transport.
