Trucking into a Greener Future:

Australian renewable energy company Countrywide Hydrogen has secured an $8 million funding injection from the Tasmanian government. This money will supercharge their "Hydrogen HyWay#1" project, aiming to create Australia's first complete green hydrogen transport network.


What is Hydrogen HyWay#1?
  • A network of hydrogen production and refueling stations specifically for heavy transport vehicles.

  • Two initial facilities:

  • Wesley Vale in northern Tasmania

  • Brighton, south of Hobart
