ULEMCo, Engv to develop Aussie hydrogen fuel biz
UK's ULEMCo has signed an MoU with Victoria-based Engv to develop a market for its hydrogen dual-fuel technology in Australia, it said on May 26.
“The scope of the agreement extends across Australia and into commercial vehicles, particularly heavy-duty applications like refuse collection, urban trucks, buses and prime movers,” the company said.

ULEMCo said by using zero-carbon hydrogen to displace diesel directly in the engine, its dual-fuel technology enables vehicle owners to reduce carbon emissions by up to 40%.
Engv operates Australia's first public hydrogen refuelling station in Canberra. Its CEO Sean Blythe said ULEMCo technology would provide a hydrogen load for infrastructure investment whilst also delivering immediate CO2 and tailpipe emission reduction benefits.
Amanda Lyne, managing director of ULEMCo said the company's existing hydrogen dual-fuel approach offered a solution that can reduce carbon emissions dramatically, and be applied across a range of existing vehicle platforms.
“Through this partnership, we are really looking forward to being part of the early development of the market for hydrogen-fuelled vehicles in Australia,” she said.
