In New Zealand, green hydrogen company Hiringa Energy, together with its investors and partners, has launched what it claims to be Australasia’s first zero-emission green hydrogen refueling network, Hiringa Refuelling New Zealand (HRNZ). The network has been established in partnership with New Zealand’s independent fuel supplier, Waitomo Group, and TR Group, Australasia’s largest heavy vehicle fleet owner. The launch sees three strategically located stations opening in Wiri (South Auckland), Te Rapa (Hamilton) and Palmerston North, with a fourth station in Tauranga progressing as an integral part of the new Tauriko SH29 road infrastructure. “Heavy transport plays a vital role in our economy, but it’s also a significant contributor to our national emissions,” says Andrew Clennett, Chief Executive Officer of Hiringa. “As a first-of-its-kind across Australasia and one of the first networks set up globally to service heavy transport, the initiative addresses this major challenge by providing operators with the infrastructure they need to switch to zero-emission transport in an efficient, scalable and commercially viable manner.”
