Case Study
Hyundai cars - powered by Coregas
When Hyundai chose to build and test a new hydrogen-powered concept car, the Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell, it chose Coregas hydrogen to fuel the new vehicle. We worked closely with Hyundai and international partners to provide a refueling station at Hyundai’s Australian headquarters in New South Wales.
Coregas supplies high purity compressed hydrogen to the refueling station, which is a special hydrogen storage and dispensing system. When mixed with air, hydrogen burns ‘clean’ leaving only water, reducing the environmental impact of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Whilst countries in Europe and America already had hydrogen-powered cars and buses, and had begun installing networks of refueling stations along “hydrogen highways”, Hyundai’s concept car was the first vehicle of its kind to be permanently imported into Australia.
The technology has a way to go, but it is hoped this is the first step toward a wider hydrogen network in Australia.
