ITM Power announced the appointment of Duncan Yellen as Managing Director of ITM Motive, the division of ITM Power responsible for the UK build, own and operate portfolio of hydrogen refueling stations. Prior to joining ITM Motive, Duncan was most recently M&A and Business/Project Development Manager at Storengy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Engie, where he was responsible for identifying new business streams and successfully developed its business strategy in green gases, CNG and geothermal.

ITM Motive will be established as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary for the management of the Company's refueling assets. On establishment, ITM Motive will own and operate a network of eight publicly accessible hydrogen refueling stations, which will expand to 11 by the end of 2020. Each incorporates an ITM Power electrolyser and a Linde IC90 compression, storage and dispensing system. ITM Power has successfully sourced both UK and EU funding to support the build and deployment costs, and developed a siting agreement with Shell for deployment on their forecourts in the UK. ITM Motive's sites in the UK continue to be operational as part of the essential services provided during the current lockdown, refueling vehicles for the Metropolitan Police and Green Tomato cars (which is providing transport for NHS staff) among others.
