A new hydrogen refueling hub has been inaugurated in Corio, Geelong, marking Australia's largest hydrogen refueling project and the first public service station to offer renewable hydrogen to commercial trucks and transport. The $61.2 million project, supported by the federal and Victorian governments, is operated by Viva Energy New Energies. Funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Victorian government's Renewable Hydrogen Commercialisation Pathways Fund contributed to the project. With a 2.5 megawatt onsite electrolyser, the hub converts recycled water and renewable electricity into renewable hydrogen. It can accommodate five buses and trucks refueling daily, with plans to increase to 12 to 15 vehicles over the next two years. The station is designed to refuel 10 trucks or buses consecutively in under two hours, providing a range of between 200-450 kilometres. The project aims to help industries reduce emissions, supporting Victoria's target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045. The hub is a significant achievement for the local community in Geelong and marks the first hydrogen project in Australia with both supply and demand on one site. As part of the initiative, Viva Energy will deploy 15 hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles on Victorian roads within two years, servicing various industries and contributing to sustainable transportation efforts.
