Ampol has partnered with US hydrogen equipment manufacturer and supplier OneH2 to build on its hydrogen offer in Australia.
The partnership will allow Ampol to offer a unique and complete hydrogen refuelling solution, giving customers the opportunity to trial hydrogen technology and better understand how it can further assist their decarbonisation journeys through alternative fuel options.
Brent Merrick, Executive General Manager, International and New Business at Ampol, said they are excited to partner with OneH2 and expand their role in the hydrogen space.
“Hydrogen has a key role to play in reducing emissions across Australia’s transport and broader energy sector and offers a unique opportunity to decarbonise hard to abate heavy transport and heavy machinery sectors.
“We expect early hydrogen adoption within heavier vehicle fleets and operations who will benefit from short refuelling times and longer range compared to current battery electric alternatives.”
Paul Dawson, President and CEO of OneH2, said they have been pleasantly surprised and encouraged by Ampol’s forward-thinking strategy for hydrogen in the transport sector over the past 18 months.
“Our products are engineered to the highest standard and we are excited to see them in use supporting Australia’s decarbonisation efforts.
“Hydrogen as a transport fuel is not easy. Our experience in designing, manufacturing and deploying hydrogen equipment across the US over the last eight years, will allow us to accelerate its adoption in the Australian market.”
