In Australia, Viva Energy recently launched its Australia-first renewable hydrogen refueling station at the company’s Energy Hub in Geelong. The facility is the nation’s first publicly accessible commercial hydrogen refuelling station and will be the hub for a fleet of hydrogen-powered, emission-free commercial heavy vehicles servicing the Geelong region.
The project incorporates a 2.5-megawatt electrolyser for the generation of renewable hydrogen using recycled water from Barwon Water’s Northern Water Plant. The project includes a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) – including prime movers, buses and rubbish trucks – operated by local businesses which will utilise the Viva Energy Hub for refuelling.
The site also offers fast charging for commercial electric vehicles, bringing together hydrogen and EV technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of Australia’s medium and heavy vehicle fleet. Conventional diesel will also available.
