Frontier Energy to set up hydrogen station in Perth

Sydney-listed Frontier Energy has placed an order with technology company ENGV to deliver a hydrogen refuelling station in Perth, Western Australia, it said on April 6. This refuelling station is due to be completed by 2023.

The company said it is currently conducting a renewable energy expansion study as well as a hydrogen study due to be completed mid-year. 

“By moving quickly to develop one of the first hydrogen refuelling stations in Western Australia, we are demonstrating our intention to be part of the whole value chain in one of the world’s fastest growing industries, however still clearly in its infancy," managing director Mike Young said.

Frontier is close to finalising the location of the refuelling station with a number of locations in Perth being considered. In addition, the company is identifying additional locations for refuelling stations, with the plan to roll out a hydrogen highway across Western Australia. 

The station will integrate an electrolyser, compression, storage and dispensing sub-systems to support a fleet of hydrogen vehicles. The system will be capable of delivering 20 kg/day of green hydrogen at 700 bar pressure for fast-fill refuelling.
