British hydrogen refuelling technology exported to Australia, providing New South Wales its first commercial station

We’re delighted to announce that the first commercial hydrogen-powered refuelling station in New South Wales has been launched, supplied by British business, Haskel, in partnership with Coregas at its hydrogen production facility at Port Kembla.

The Coregas H2Station, installed on the Bluescope Steel site, will be used to fill heavy hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicles, including HGVs, buses, and refuse vehicles.

Haskel has provided Coregas with its turnkey GENO hydrogen refuelling station solution. The refuelling station is a reliable, high-capacity filling solution designed for highly demanding refuelling profiles. It delivers a back-to-back filling experience, with the capacity to provide over 400kg of hydrogen per day. The system, optimised for Coregas, will take hydrogen from the production plant, compress it to 350 bar, and deliver it to a dispenser at the vehicle fuelling station 50 metres away.

The Haskel compression technology for hydrogen vehicles delivers the same refuelling ease as traditional petroleum and diesel refuelling stations, making the transition as easy as possible for users.

Stewart Anderson, Haskel’s Hydrogen Business Development and Technical Sales Manager (APAC) said: “Haskel are proud to be working with Coregas to support the adoption of hydrogen technology in Australia’s transport sector. We are pleased to collaborate on this ground-breaking project, bringing our extensive high pressure gas experience and expertise in the hydrogen mobility sector to Port Kembla.”

“We’re proud to be working with Haskel on Coregas’ H2Station, an industry-leading initiative,” said Alan Watkins, Executive General Manager at Coregas in Australia. “The Haskel Hydrogen system features world-leading compression, storage and dispensing equipment specifically designed and optimised for H2Station. Transitioning our fleet to FCEVs is a cornerstone of the company’s decarbonisation roadmap.”

Access to hydrogen fuel and refuelling infrastructure are key enablers for the adoption of hydrogen as a zero-emission vehicle fuel alternative in the sector. After the successful launch of the first Haskel hydrogen refuelling station on Australia’s West coast, this refuelling station will start the transformation of the region’s transport environmental footprint by enabling the deployment of a fleet of hydrogen-powered prime mover vehicles in the region.
