Ampol international and its new business executive general manager, Brent Merrick, said the company’s partnership was an important step in expanding greener transport options in Australia and giving companies the confidence to invest in new vehicles. “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,” Merrick said.
“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.” The OneH2 chief executive, Paul Dawson, said the company, which has been developing hydrogen transport and onsite generation solutions since 2015, would increase distribution of the new fuel in Australia.“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.”
