Seeking green hydrogen customers
Sep 5, 2022 | The Mercury | Alex Treacy
A Green hydrogen start-up in Tasmania's north, which seeks to begin production in early 2023, is on the hunt for local customers for its product. Line Hydrogen, co-located with the 5MW Bell Bay Solar Farm, from where it will get the renewable energy needed to split water molecules into hydrogen, wants its product to be used for green hydrogen refuelling stations, hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles, stand-alone fuel cell electrical power generators, and very-high efficiency zero-emission hydrogen-powered boilers.
"If your company is transporting its goods or people using diesel-powered trucks or buses, we'd like to hear from you," said founder and chief executive Brendan James.
"Tasmanian businesses have the opportunity right now to lead Australia and the world in sustainable, zero-emission operations, and directly benefit from the long-term financial and environmental rewards."
Line Hydrogen envisages its product being the fuel source for fleets of heavy haulage vehicles.
The company recently entered into a partnership with Jericho Energy to develop a range of large-scale boilers for heating, steam generation, manufacturing, and distilling operations.
