PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Pure Hydrogen has partnered with waste collection provider JJ’s Waste to build Australia’s first hydrogen-fuelled garbage truck.

Pure Hydrogen will supply JJ’s Waste with a hydrogen fuel cell side-lift RCV truck and would deliver emerald hydrogen from its waste-to-hydrogen operations to re-fuel the truck.

Pure said on Monday that the two companies will undertake a trial programme with the first vehicle to determine the effectiveness of the partnering arrangement, starting later this year, with the first truck based on the Gold Coast.

JJ’s Waste has over 2 000 trucks in its fleet, and if the trial proved successful, there was potential for further hydrogen-fuelled trucks to be transitioned into the company’s fleet, said Pure Hydrogen MD Scott Brown.

“We believe this is the start of a new era for heavy commercial vehicles in Australia which will not only reduce and fix fuel cost, but be cleaner and greener for the Australian environment. It will also reduce our reliance on imported diesel by replacing it with hydrogen made in Australia.

“We see the business case for converting garbage trucks into hydrogen fuel cell trucks as very compelling and we are confident this trial will be a great success.”
