ITM Power CEO, Dr. Graham Cooley, said: "GMI is a great partner for ITM Power to bid for onsite hydrogen generation systems powered by renewables. A fully integrated renewable energy system which includes hydrogen fuel for applications like back up power, forklifts and pallet trucks is a unique market offering"
