Viva Energy has launched Australia's first publicly accessible, commercial-scale renewable hydrogen refuelling station at its Geelong Energy Hub, marking a significant milestone in the country's energy transition. The station is designed to support a fleet of hydrogen-powered, zero-emission commercial vehicles in the Geelong region, emphasizing the potential of hydrogen in decarbonising Australia's heavy vehicle fleet. Central to the initiative is a 2.5-megawatt electrolyser on-site, producing renewable hydrogen from recycled water, showcasing circular resource use. The facility also provides fast-charging for commercial electric vehicles and maintains diesel refuelling options to aid the gradual transition to net-zero emissions. Viva Energy's approach involved securing early demand from major partners like Toll Group, CDC, Cleanaway, and Barwon Water, who have committed to hydrogen adoption. The project received funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Victorian Government, highlighting strong support for sustainable energy initiatives. Chief Strategy Officer Lachlan Pfeiffer expressed the company's commitment to diversifying its energy portfolio by offering hydrogen as an alternative fuel. The project aims to reduce emissions and promote sustainability in Australia's heavy transport sector, with a focus on collaboration with government, industry, and local communities. The electrolyser at the Geelong hub has a daily capacity of 1000kg of hydrogen, making it the largest in Australia. The station can dispense 300kg of hydrogen in under two hours, catering to commercial vehicles efficiently. Viva Energy plans to expand its hydrogen partnerships, further impacting Australia's clean transport landscape.
