The NSW and Victorian Governments have each invested $10 million in grant funding for the Hume Hydrogen Highway, a joint grant initiative to support the development of at least four refuelling stations along the highway and approximately 25 hydrogen-powered trucks.
Applications are now open for $20 million in grant funding to support the design and delivery of renewable hydrogen trucking along Australia’s busiest freight corridor.
Grant applications close 21 October 2022. The successful applicant must enter into a joint funding agreement with both Governments.
The Victorian, NSW and Queensland Governments will collaborate on the development of the renewable hydrogen highway by 2026, focusing on the Hume Highway, the Pacific Highway and the Newell Highway.
Transport is one of Australia’s largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable hydrogen shows strong potential to be cost competitive with diesel for trucks.
