Ampol to work with OneH2 to build hydrogen service stations

Australia is expected to get more hydrogen service stations after the country’s largest petrol retailer teamed with a US firm specialising in the alternative fuel.

Ampol announced its partnership with OneH2, revealing the companies would work together to speed up the use of hydrogen in the Australian market and help to cut emissions from heavy transport.

The news comes weeks after rival BP opened the first hydrogen refuelling facility at an Australian service station and after a CSIRO report warned the industry needed to ramp up hydrogen investments or risk falling behind progress overseas.

Ampol international and new business executive general manager Brent Merrick said the company’s partnership was an important step in expanding greener transport options in Australia and giving companies the confidence to invest in new vehicles.
