Working in Partnership to Drive the APAC Hydrogen Economy

Market research commissioned by Haskel found that the Asia Pacific market size for hydrogen refuelling stations is set to more than triple in value between 2021 and 2029, forecast to reach USD 1,053.41 million by 2029.

Stewart Anderson, APAC Hydrogen Business Development Manager at Haskel, said:

“Amid debate about how to grow the use of hydrogen in the UK to reach net zero, I’m mindful of how countries such as Australia and New Zealand are taking giant leaps in this arena. Driven by clear government strategy, which in turn has unlocked investment in infrastructure, there’s a roadmap to building a network of hydrogen refuelling stations capable of removing emissions from transport. I hope to see the UK adopt a similar approach, and unlock the expertise on its doorstep.”

Haskel has partnered with Hiringa Energy, the first company in New Zealand dedicated to the supply of green hydrogen. Together, they plan to rapidly scale the deployment of large-scale hydrogen refuelling stations for HGVs across New Zealand and Australia.

Haskel’s hydrogen compressor systems can provide high capacity fuelling for buses and trucks up to 350 bar working pressure, with the potential to increase to 700 bar in the future. The first phase of the development includes four 2 refuelling stations in the North Island, providing coverage for the major freight routes. This year will see the New Zealand routes expanded to include the South Island as well as progress on an east coast Australian network.

“We forecast over 24 Hiringa high-capacity refuelling stations will come online across New Zealand in the next 4-5 years. This will provide unparalleled transport infrastructure and cement New Zealand as a centre for hydrogen innovation. A natural extension of our growth is into the Australian East Coast where we are advancing significant network plans. A key enabler for this expansion is our partnership with Haskel where their expertise and key equipment supply enables a commercially viable infrastructure model.”
