New Zealand launches first green hydrogen fast refueling station
Established by Obayashi Corporation and Tuaropaki Trust, the site is set to cater to logistics companies operating near South Auckland.
Obayashi Corporation has commenced operations of the first green hydrogen fast refueling station in New Zealand.
Located in the city of Auckland, the site was through Halcyon Green Hydrogen Limited and jointly established by the company and Tuaropaki Trust. As the facility operates in Wiri, a suburb where logistics companies operate around, it will enable it to meet the future demand increase for fuel.
The H2H Energy's fast refueling system installed at the station is not only containerized and relocatable, but it can also refuel large vehicles such as trucks and buses in about 15 minutes.
Green hydrogen supplied at the station will arrive from the geothermal-derived green hydrogen production plant owned by Halcyon Power Limited, a joint venture between the Obayashi and Tuaropaki Trust. In addition, a hydrogen production facility is under construction on the same site to expand its capabilities to encompass the entire process, from production to refueling.
