Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading developer and
manufacturer of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, today
announced that a Hydrogenics electrolysis-based hydrogen fueling station
has been officially opened in Turkey in the presence of Kadir Tobass,
Mayor of Istanbul, as well as journalists and members of the public. The
fueling station is located at Golden Horn, the historic inlet of the
Bosphorus straight, and can fuel up to 65 kilograms per day of hydrogen
at 350 bar. The station is for both land and sea transportation
applications where Hydrogenics' 8kW fuel cells can be used.

"We are very pleased to see the high level of interest shown
by the Turkish government in hydrogen technology as a future fuel," said
Daryl Wilson, Hydrogenics President and CEO. "This first hydrogen
fueling station in Turkey demonstrates Hydrogenics' ability to respond
to the increasing demand for hydrogen fueling stations across Europe.
Our ability to deliver a complete offering addressing quality, safety
and economic requirements further validates Hydrogenics as the company
with the expertise to manufacture and install hydrogen fueling stations
wherever needed."
The station was financed by the International Centre for
Hydrogen Energy Technologies (ICHET), a project of the United Nations
Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), founded in Istanbul in 2004
and supported by the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.
ICHET seeks to initiate projects in the developing world that establish
or enhance hydrogen production from indigenous -- and preferably
renewable -- energy resources so that hydrogen can take a far more
important role in the satisfaction of local energy needs. Additional
information about ICHET and UNIDO can be found at www.unido-ichet.org.
