Shares of Hydrogen Power company AFC Energy (LON: AFC) rallied after the company announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Altaaqa Alternative Solutions Company Limited.
The MoU with Altaaqa, a wholly-owned member of the Zahid Group, intends to establish an exclusive dealership for the distribution of the AFC’s fuel cell systems in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East & North Africa regions via a strategic partnership.

” Globally recognised as a partner of choice by many of the world's leading industrial and energy companies, Altaaqa has an enviable reputation in the provision of best-in-class mobile power systems and further consolidates AFC Energy's position as an emerging global provider of zero-emission power systems in advancement of the international transition to a Net Zero economy,” said Adam Bond, Chief Executive Officer at AFC Energy.
