Viva Energy has inaugurated Australia's primary renewable hydrogen refuelling station in Geelong, Victoria, known as the 'New Energies Service Station.' The station features a 2.5 MW PEM electrolyser from Nel Hydrogen, utilizing sustainable electricity from the grid and water from Barwon Water to produce hydrogen. This facility will support a fleet of hydrogen-powered, emission-free heavy vehicles in the Geelong region, facilitating a more sustainable transport sector. Viva aims to produce up to 1,000kg of hydrogen daily, catering to heavy trucks and buses. The station can dispense 300kg of hydrogen in under two hours, with plans to refuel 10 trucks consecutively. Additionally, Viva is exploring opportunities to sell bulk renewable hydrogen to businesses. The company has partnered with various firms to power hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and plans to deploy more hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles. Supported by Arena and the Victorian Government, the initiative aligns with the state's objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045. While the project is lauded for its renewable focus, concerns are raised about the source of electricity powering the electrolyser, highlighting the need for a reliable renewable energy supply chain to ensure truly green hydrogen production.
