The collaboration agreement enables the companies to share opportunities and, where a commercial case exists, work together exclusively to use ITM Power PEM electrolysers and Iwatani gas handling and distribution solutions.
Particular areas of interest are California hydrogen refuelling stations and large-scale liquid and gaseous renewable hydrogen production for domestic sale and export.
Joe Cappello, CEO Iwatani Americas, said: "ITM Power's world leading electrolysers and Iwatani's vision for growth in the North American green hydrogen market align very well and we look forward to deploying projects together."
Graham Cooley, CEO, ITM Power, added: "Iwatani is a recognised leader in the hydrogen industry and we are delighted to be collaborating with the company in North America.
"Transport refuelling is just the tip of the iceberg for demand for hydrogen from renewable sources and this partnership will be well positioned to participate in this exciting and rapidly growing industry."
