Nel ASA: Receives EUR 2 million purchase order for H2Station® solution in South Korea

Nel ASA: Receives EUR 2 million purchase order for H2Station® solution in South Korea

(Oslo, May 31, 2018) Nel Deokyang Ltd. ("Nel-Deokyang"), a subsidiary of Nel ASA

in South Korea, has received a purchase order for a H2Station® hydrogen fueling

solution from Joong Do Gas, a retail company involved in sales of LPG fuel in

South Korea. The EUR 2 million order marks the first installation in Korea, and

the first compact fueling station solution to follow a new gas law and local

standards.

"This is the breakthrough we have been working intensively with over the course

of the last year. As the first pure H2Station® delivery from Nel, not only in

Korea, but in Asia in general, this is a landmark achievement for Nel, as we

continue to position ourselves as a truly global hydrogen company," says Jon

André Løkke, Chief Executive Officer of Nel

In April, the South Korean Government announced the establishment of a Special

Purpose Company ("SPC") for expanding the country's hydrogen infrastructure with

the goal of installing hydrogen fueling stations along most traveled roads and

highways, as well as in Seoul and other major cities. Nel is participating in

this SPC through its joint venture, Nel-Deokyang, along with other participants

from major South Korean corporations, state-run utilities and automakers.

"South Korea is currently one of the fastest movers within the industry, with an

ambition of having 100 hydrogen fueling stations online by 2020. We are very

happy to kickstart our deliveries in South Korea and expect to continue to

further penetrate the market as we move forward," Løkke concludes.

The H2Station® solution has an order value of EUR 2 million and will be

installed alongside conventional fuels on the existing forecourt of an LPG

station, which also marks a first in Korea. The station is supported by the

Korean Automotive Environment Association, and installation will commence

towards the end of 2018.
