Developing Green Hydrogen Refuelling Networks
Hiringa is building green hydrogen production and refuelling infrastructure across New Zealand and Australia. The refuelling stations provide coverage for the key heavy freight routes and are powered by renewable electricity
The hydrogen is made onsite by using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis. The hydrogen is then compressed and stored onsite before being dispensed into heavy vehicle. .
The networks also provide an affordable and reliable source of hydrogen for multiple applications including:
-
Aviation
-
Marine and shipping
-
Construction and off-road equipment
-
Materials handling
-
Stationary heat and power
Network locations in New Zealand and Australia have been prioritised to provide:
-
Aggregation of suitable fleets in industrial complexes, commercial & logistics hubs
-
Ability to service ports and airports
The network includes:
-
Distributed production at each station
-
Delivery of hydrogen from centralised generation
Hydrogen vehicle subsidy available now.
EECA’s Low Emission Heavy Vehicle Fund makes it more affordable for New Zealand transport operators to switch to hydrogen.
It can cover up to 25% of the cost of purchasing hydrogen vehicles, or switching an existing diesel truck to a hydrogen dual fuel engine.
With a New Zealand hydrogen refuelling network now in place, this is the next step in enabling the transport sector to decarbonise.
