Fusion Fuel Green PLC has executed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Ampol Limited to develop a green hydrogen production plant in Queensland, Australia.

The project includes the installation of a demonstrator plant for the production of green hydrogen, using Fusion Fuel’s proprietary HEVO-SOLAR technology, at Ampol’s Lytton refinery site in Brisbane. It is expected that the plant will be commissioned and operational within the next 12 months, with the HOA also providing a framework for the companies to enter a 50/50 joint venture to pursue other green hydrogen opportunities in the region.

"Over the long-term, this technology could also provide the opportunity to introduce green energy into the refinery to help support our commitments to reduce carbon emissions across our operations," said Brent Merrick, Ampol’s Executive General Manager.
