Fusion Fuel Green, Ampol to jointly develop a green hydrogen plant
The project includes the installation of a demonstrator plant for the production of green hydrogen.
Fusion Fuel Green, a green hydrogen technology company, has reached an agreement with Ampol to develop a green hydrogen production plant in Queensland, Australia.
The project includes the installation of a demonstrator plant for the production of green hydrogen, using Fusion Fuel’s proprietary HEVO-SOLAR technology, at Ampol’s Lytton refinery site in Brisbane. It is expected that the plant will be commissioned and operational within the next 12 months, with both companies having the possibility to enter a 50/50 joint venture to pursue other green hydrogen opportunities in the region.
“Australia’s abundance of solar energy makes it among the absolute best geographies for our HEVO-SOLAR solution, which combines concentrating photovoltaic technology with our proprietary microelectrolyzer, allowing us to produce green hydrogen at costs comparable to grey and brown hydrogen. The great distances Australians often must traverse can prove challenging for battery electric vehicles given their range limitations and extended recharging times. Green hydrogen solves both of those problems,” explained Jeffrey Schwarz, the Chairman of Fusion Fuel.
Ampol is an independent Australian company with 17 terminals, five major pipelines, 57 depots, 1,900 branded sites. They see hydrogen technology as an opportunity to introduce green energy into the refinery to help support our commitments to reduce carbon emissions across our operations.
