Watch this video presentation from our previous hydrogen conference in March. Patrick Luxton, General Manager Hydrogen, Ampol discuss the commercial realities of hydrogen, including:
- Key elements in the successful adoption of hydrogen, including the most challenging aspects of moving from traditional fuels to hydrogen (hint - it costs eight times as much)
- Why 'back to base' fleets will be the first users of hydrogen fuel cells
- Time scales for significant penetration and why detailing long-term costs may be a vital element in convincing consumers to move to hydrogen
- How leveraging off other projects in hydrogen hubs may be the only way to overcome the capital-intensive nature of establishing hydrogen assets
- Why we need to be mindful of safety and reliability (including learning from the sub-par US experience with re-fuelling stations)
