Australia's first renewable hydrogen service station has been inaugurated in Geelong, marking a significant step towards sustainable transportation in the country. The $61.2 million Viva Energy New Energies Service Station, funded by the Federal and Victorian governments, is aimed at offering renewable hydrogen to commercial trucks and transport vehicles. The station features a 2.5MW electrolyser that converts recycled water from Barwon Water and renewable electricity into renewable hydrogen, showcasing a commitment to environmentally friendly fuel solutions. Positioned at a strategic location on a major transport route, the station plans to gradually increase its capacity to accommodate more vehicles over the next two years. The quick refuelling time and decent range provided by the hydrogen fuel aim to make it a feasible option for commercial transport operators. Additionally, the integration of charging options for electric vehicles highlights a holistic approach towards sustainable energy solutions. The project also includes plans to deploy 15 hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles in Victoria, further promoting the adoption of renewable hydrogen in the transport sector. The significant investments by both levels of government and the commitment to expanding renewable hydrogen infrastructure demonstrate a positive outlook towards reducing emissions and achieving environmental sustainability goals.
