VIVA ENERGY has signed deals with suppliers for its Geelong hydrogen refueling hub which is expected to come online late next year.
A containerised electrolyser and hydrogen dispensing system are on its way to Geelong as part of the refinery’s expansion of its hydrogen capabilities.
Viva says the combined equipment would allow it to generate and deliver more than 1,000 kilograms of green hydrogen per day to power a fleet of 15 heavy vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cell technology.
The 2.5-megawatt electrolyser would use renewable electricity to split molecules of water supplied from Barwon Water’s nearby Northern Water Plant.
A “fast-fill” hydrogen refuelling system could dispense 300kg of the fuel in under two hours and provide a similar experience to a traditional service station.
Both technologies will be the largest of their type in Australia when they reach…
