August 8th, 2022

R&D Focus Areas:
Mobility, Techno-economic evaluation

Lead Organisation:
Curtin University

Funding:
Future Energy Exports CRC (Research Project)

Status:
Active

Start date:
April 2022

Project summary description:

This project aims at designing and implementing a pilot program which will contribute to the development of the entire industry supply chain for hydrogen fuelled heavy haul vehicles in WA, including hydrogen production, transportation, refuelling infrastructure and vehicle marketing.

In Phase 1 of this project, a techno-economic analysis for hydrogen based heavy transport infrastructure in Western Australia will be completed.
The pilot program will be designed and executed in Phase 2, using, initially, a maintenance truck operated by MRWA and a concrete agitator operated by BGC in the Midwest and Perth regions respectively, which would be serviced in a purpose-built hydrogen refuelling station.
