Coregas is leveraging its expertise in industrial and specialty gases to advance its business and help fuel the energy transition.

Coregas plays an important role in the hydrogen supply chain in Australia and New Zealand, with customer and supplier net zero targets and ambitions providing opportunities for investment.

The launch of Coregas’ H2Station — Australia’s first hydrogen refuelling station for heavy vehicles — supported Aluminium Revolutionary Chassis Company (ARCC), Premier Illawarra and Remondis to deploy hydrogen vehicles in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region.

Coregas and Halcyon also launched New Zealand’s first green hydrogen fast refuelling station at Wiri, South Auckland.

This year, Coregas expanded its operations with the acquisition of a hydrogen liquefier in Port Hastings, Victoria. Prior to Coregas’ acquisition, the hydrogen liquefier played an important role supporting the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain pilot, which successfully demonstrated that hydrogen can be produced, liquefied and transported to Japan. Currently, Coregas is working with stakeholders to identify opportunities to leverage this asset to advance the hydrogen supply chain for Australia.

During the year, Coregas also secured a major contract to support a trial to develop low-emissions aluminium. The decarbonised process replaces natural gas with hydrogen in the calcination combustion process. Coregas will be suppling liquid oxygen to enable ‘clean’ combustion of hydrogen¹.

Coregas’ expertise and focus on partnerships has enabled it to capture growth opportunities while supporting decarbonisation efforts of its customers and value chain.
