CSIRO’s research into hydrogen as a fuel source for passenger vehicles has been given a boost by the installation of a refuelling station in Melbourne.

The CSIRO-driven project, supported by the Victorian Hydrogen Hub led by the Swinburne University of Technology, brings Australia one step closer to integrating hydrogen-powered transport.

“Green hydrogen will play a crucial role in the energy transition and decarbonisation of the road transport industry,” said Deepak Mistry, Principal Applications Engineer – Hydrogen at Pacific Energy, which was responsible for designing and installing the facility.

“Transport is the third largest contributor to emissions in Australia. As per Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy 2024, it is believed that green hydrogen can reduce emissions by up to 186 million t of carbon dioxide per year by 2050.

The initiative is now a finalist in the Engineers Australia Excellence Awards, in the Project of the Year category, having won the award at a state level in Victoria.
