Australia's largest hydrogen refuelling project has been launched in Geelong, Victoria, with the opening of the Viva Energy New Energies Service Station. This $61.2 million project, funded by the Federal Government's Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Victorian Government's Renewable Hydrogen Commercialisation Pathways Fund, is a significant step towards reducing emissions and lowering fuel costs in the transportation sector. The station features a 2.5MW on-site electrolyser that produces renewable hydrogen from recycled water and renewable electricity. The Victorian Minister for Energy and Resources, Lily D'Ambrosio, highlighted the importance of supporting the renewable hydrogen sector to help industries like transport reduce emissions and achieve Victoria's net-zero emissions target by 2045. The station, strategically located on a key transport corridor in Geelong, is designed to refuel up to 15 vehicles in under two hours, with a quick refuelling time of around 15 minutes providing a range of 200–450km. This project represents a significant milestone as the first hydrogen project in Australia with both supply and demand on one site, emphasizing the integration of hydrogen production and vehicle refuelling. The site also offers charging options for electric vehicles, showcasing a commitment to sustainable transport solutions. Viva Energy's plan to deploy 15 hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles on Victorian roads within two years demonstrates the project's broader impact on decarbonizing industries that are traditionally challenging to address. This initiative, supported by the Victorian Government's investment in renewable hydrogen projects, aims to pave the way for future expansions in renewable hydrogen transport and its potential to service various hard-to-decarbonize industries. The project aligns with the government's efforts to promote sustainability, innovation, and emissions reduction in the transportation sector, marking a positive step towards a more environmentally friendly future.
