The CLH Group is a leading company in the transport and storage fuel products in Europe. Through zero emission hydrogen fuel cell system applications commercialized by Plug Power, including industrial material handling, on road commercial fleet vehicles and port applications (air, marine, and rail) where CLH has a strong presence, both partners expect to impact the growth of the renewable hydrogen market in Spain and Europe. The agreement provides opportunity for both companies to identify opportunities and customers in the space.
“Finding and accelerating adoption opportunities in the Spanish material handling market is pivotal to the greater success of adopting clean energy mobility solutions,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. “Like Plug Power, CLH shares a value to sustainability, safety and collaboration. Our partnership is already providing fruitful work and we look forward to finding areas of collaboration in the future.”
Already a leader in the United States in fuel cell deployment and hydrogen dispensing, Plug Power’s European business is expected to grow by more than 60 percent per year for the next five years, according to the company. Plug Power customers are currently the largest users of liquid hydrogen in the United States.
The CLH Group is the leading company engaged in the transport and storage of oil products in the Spanish market and the second largest logistics operator in Europe in terms of the extension of its pipeline network and storage capacity. In Spain, it has a pipeline network over 4,000 kilometers in length and 39 storage facilities with capacity for 8 million cubic meters, as well as being present at the main Spanish airports. At the international level, the company is developing an ambitious expansion plan and conducts its business in the UK, Oman, Ireland, Panama and Ecuador.
