NEL is increasing its share in Hyme AS, a provider of design and technical solutions for hydrogen refuelling stations

Report this content

Through a 100% owned subsidiary, NEL ASA (“NEL”) has increased its ownership in Hyme AS, a company providing design and technical solutions for hydrogen refuelling stations, from 31% to 56.8%. NEL thus has majority in Hyme AS and the increase in ownership is part of NEL’s strategy to grow within the hydrogen refuelling market. The increase has been done by way of a share issue in Hyme AS.

Hyme AS was established in mid 2014 by NEL Hydrogen together with two other Norwegian partners and one Swedish partner. The partnership in Hyme AS brings together extensive expertise in the design and delivery of hydrogen refuelling stations with the aim to take part in an emerging market worldwide.

NEL Hydrogen delivered the world’s first publically available hydrogen refuelling station in Iceland in 2003. NEL Hydrogen offers solutions for both trucked-in hydrogen supply and on-site electrolytic production. NEL aims to deliver a complete solution, from production of hydrogen to refuelling of vehicles through the engagement and ownership in Hyme AS, a company builds on decades of experience with designing and operating hydrogen refuelling stations. This initiative is timed with the current global launch of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Through NEL’s already existing international presence, NEL and Hyme are well positioned to offer this concept globally as the market for hydrogen refuelling stations is growing.
