Cavendish Hydrogen Partners with PAK-PCE for Expansion of Hydrogen Station in Poland

Cavendish Hydrogen's New Contract in Poland

Cavendish Hydrogen ASA, recognized under the Oslo Børs ticker CAVEN, recently announced a significant contract with PAK-PCE Stacje H2, part of the Polsat Plus capital group. This collaboration focuses on enhancing the capabilities of an existing hydrogen fueling station located in Rybnik, Poland.

The contract, valued at approximately EUR 1.3 million, aims to expand the station’s infrastructure to meet the growing needs of the urban transportation sector. The enhancements will include the installation of new equipment and the associated commissioning services, with completion expected by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Since its inception in the third quarter of 2023, the Rybnik station has already demonstrated impressive performance, fueling over 7,500 vehicles and dispensing in excess of 100,000 kilograms of hydrogen. The planned upgrade will not only accommodate the ascension of the fleet of buses operated by the city of Rybnik, now expanded to include 11 newer Neso buses, but also position the station among the largest hydrogen fueling stations in Europe.

Cavendish Hydrogen's CEO, Robert Borin, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing partnership with PAK-PCE H2 Stations. He emphasized that the collaboration signifies their commitment to quality service and operational excellence. The partnership not only enhances their product offerings but also reinforces Cavendish's strategic intent to solidify a leading role in the Polish hydrogen market.

"This collaboration serves as a testament to our market-leading product quality and our commitment to operational excellence based on responsiveness and expertise. We are keen to enhance our ties with PAK-PCE as we both aim to make notable contributions to the development of the hydrogen market in Poland," stated Borin.

Similarly, Paweł Bujak, the Chief Technology Officer of PAK-PCE H2 Stations, commented on the longstanding collaboration with Cavendish, noting that together they have been instrumental in establishing a robust network of hydrogen refueling stations across Poland, now totaling six locations. He added that the upgrade at Rybnik is a crucial step forward, believing the enhanced infrastructure will significantly impact both market progression and urban transportation efficiency based on the successful deployment of Neso buses.

The implications of this project extend beyond just enhancing local infrastructure; it mirrors a broader commitment to developing sustainable transport solutions in urban settings. As hydrogen technology gains traction, projects like this present opportunities for advancing public transport frameworks and optimizing resource utilization through cleaner energy sources.

In conclusion, Cavendish Hydrogen is not just looking to upgrade a station; it's paving the way for a more sustainable future in urban mobility through innovative infrastructure and strategic partnerships. As the hydrogen market continues to evolve, Cavendish's role in Poland will likely expand, reflecting the growing importance of green technologies in transportation. With operations centered around sustainable energy solutions, Cavendish and PAK-PCE’s collaboration sets a promising precedent in the hydrogen sector, potentially influencing future investments and developments in cleaner transport technologies.
