Australia's first hydrogen refuelling station opens

BP has demonstrated safe, fast and reliable handling of hydrogen refuelling in partnership with BOC as project lead, and with support from the Queensland Government and ARENA.

Customers will dispense hydrogen produced by BOC at its Bulwer Island production site. It has the capacity to refill a hydrogen car in 3-5 minutes.

Frédéric Baudry, president, BP Australia and SVP fuels & low carbon solutions, Asia Pacific said: “By safely integrating a hydrogen refuelling station into our service station network, we are showing that existing infrastructure can be used to facilitate hydrogen vehicles.BP believes hydrogen will play a key role in reaching net zero - it is complementary to electrification and pivotal in the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors like heavy transport.”

The Queensland Government’s fleet of hydrogen-powered Hyundai NEXOs were the first to use the new station. Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen, Mick de Brenni, said: “The decarbonisation of transport is one of the clearest routes to take as we travel towards our 2050 net-zero emissions target, and here in Queensland the rubber is hitting the road."
