ACT RENEWABLES HUB
NEWH2 SKILLS AND REGULATIONS In early November the ACT Government and Hydrogen Australia in partnership with the Smart Energy Council presented a webinar on the ACT Hydrogen Refuelling Station, which dispenses hydrogen generated from 100 per cent renewable electricity. Opened in March 2021, the site that is unique to Australia is operated by ActewAGL which joined forces with Neoen, Hyundai and SG Fleet to make the project a success. The 90-minute webinar heard from a range of speakers including Clare Sykes of NewH2 and
James Dunlop of ActewAGL who presented an overview of the project. Scott Nargar addressed Hyundai’s First Hydrogen Car Fleet and Hyundai Nexo SUVs, and rounding off the program was Scott Hamilton on the Smart Energy Council’s Zero Carbon Certification Scheme. The ACT Government will use the station to service Australia’s first government fleet of hydrogen vehicles, 20 Hyundai NEXOs, as the government continues to transition 100 per cent of its passenger fleet to zero emissions vehicles.
