Australian gases company, Coregas, today announced it is set to supply hydrogenfor Hyundai’s new hydrogen-powered concept car, the Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell.
Hyundai is currently installing Australia’s first hydrogen fuel cell refuelling station at its headquarters in Macquarie Park, NSW (New South Wales) ready to commence operations early next year.
Coregas will supply high purity compressed hydrogen to the refuelling station, which is a special hydrogen storage and dispensing system. Coregas worked closely with Air Products, an international gases company and supplier of the refuelling station, to provide a complete refuelling solution for Hyundai.
When mixed with air, hydrogen burns ‘clean’ leaving only water, reducing the environmental impact of the vehicle. Longer term plans include production of hydrogen on site using solar energy and electrolysers, meaning the scheme will eventually be entirely green, emitting no harmful by-products and not burning fossil fuels.
