Ampol has entered into a partnership with H2 equipment manufacturer and supplier OneH2 to represent the U.S.-based company in the Australian H2 market. The OneH2 partnership will allow Ampol to offer a unique and complete H2 refueling solution, giving customers the opportunity to trial H2 technology and better understand how it can further assist their decarbonization journeys, through alternative fuel options.
Ampol, Executive General Manager, International and New Business, Brent Merrick said, “the partnership with OneH2 is a natural extension to Ampol's fuel portfolio, given its expertise in transport fuels, reliable supply chains and the similarities between H2 and fuel products.”
"We are excited to partner with OneH2 and expand our role in the H2 space, as we continue to work to deliver safe, reliable, and convenient future energy solutions for customers," said Merrick.
"H2 has a key role to play in reducing emissions across Australia’s transport and broader energy sector and offers a unique opportunity to decarbonize hard to abate heavy transport and heavy machinery sectors. We expect early H2 adoption within heavier vehicle fleets and operations who will benefit from short refueling times and longer range compared to current battery electric alternatives."
Paul Dawson, OneH2 President and CEO said, "Our products are engineered to the highest standard and we are excited to see them in use supporting Australia's decarbonization efforts. Over the last 18 months, we have been pleasantly surprised and encouraged by Ampol's forward-thinking strategy for H2 in the transport sector."
"We're proud to be working with Ampol, an iconic, Australian owned transport energy provider. H2 as a transport fuel is not easy. Our experience in designing, manufacturing and deploying H2 equipment across the U.S. over the last eight years, will allow us to accelerate its adoption in the Australian market."
Initially, Ampol will deploy OneH2’s onsite refueling offer which will allow customers to easily refuel their H2 equipment safely on site, where they need it.
