This landmark project represents a significant step forward in Australia’s energy transition, marking the first commercially focused green hydrogen B2B industrial supply initiative aimed at displacing grey hydrogen currently produced from natural gas. At the core of the facility will be a 1 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser, powered by grid electricity during periods of surplus renewable generation and low wholesale energy prices.
Under a strategic agreement, Coregas Pty Ltd — Australia’s first producer of liquid hydrogen — will operate the site and manage all downstream logistics including compression, liquefaction, cylinder and trailer filling, and distribution to end users. Hydrogen produced at the Hastings facility will be marketed and sold under commercial terms through Coregas to a growing base of industrial and mobility customers.
“This project positions Victoria at the forefront of green hydrogen innovation,” said Roger Knight, CEO of Energys. “By displacing emissions-intensive grey hydrogen with a zero-carbon alternative, we are making a tangible contribution to decarbonising key sectors such as industrial gas, transport and stationary energy.”
Green hydrogen supplied from this site will reduce emissions in the stationary power along with road and marine transport markets through the displacement of diesel. Energys’ core activity is the manufacture of hydrogen fuel cell power systems and this project will supply green hydrogen to the Victorian market including Energys’ customer base.
The project’s operating model leverages grid flexibility, utilising electricity during periods of excess supply, which aligns with broader energy market goals of enhancing system stability and integrating renewable energy.
This development reinforces Energys’ commitment to advancing practical, scalable clean energy solutions that support Australia’s net-zero ambitions and foster a low-emissions future. Energys would also like to acknowledge the support from the Victorian government through The Renewable Hydrogen Commercialisation Pathways Fund (CPF).
