Pacific Energy’s subsidiary, ENGV – Australia’s market-leading hydrogen technologies specialist has announced it has extended its Australia-wide distribution agreement with Hexagon Purus for a further five years.

The contract enables ENGV to supply green hydrogen and renewable gas projects across Australia with Hexagon Purus’ state-of-the-art high-pressure systems, from stationary storage units through to versatile hydrogen refuelling stations.

Hexagon Purus, through its subsidiary Wystrach GmbH, is the world-leading innovator and supplier of lightweight, Type 4 composite cylinders and systems for storage and transport of compressed gaseous hydrogen.

The company develops technologies for zero-emission mobility and has already delivered more than half a million high-pressure tanks to the global market, with no operational issues reported.

Sean Blythe, ENGV’s Chief Executive Officer, said the company was proud to continue its long-standing partnership with Hexagon Purus to provide its world-class technologies to the Australian market.

“Hexagon Purus has an unmatched track record and decades of experience developing some of the renewable gas market’s most important innovations,” Mr Blythe said.

“The extension to our agreement comes off the back of our first Australian order for a Wystrach WyBundle, which will be installed at Hyundai’s hydrogen refuelling station in NSW,” he said.

“This is a really exciting moment for us, our client and the broader hydrogen industry. We couldn’t be happier to deliver on our commitment to create a sustainable, low-carbon future than by offering them this quality product.”

The WyBundle, which comprises up to 18 50-litre, high-pressure cylinders in a galvanised steel unit, delivers improved transport range, payload and handling in the safest and most efficient way available to the market, and is just one of the products Australia’s hydrogen supply chain can access through the ENGV–Hexagon Purus agreement.

Dr Kleschinski, Executive Vice President Purus LDC stated, the execution of the new 5-year agreement is recognition of Hexagon’s historical success with ENGV and commitment to the rapidly evolving Hydrogen markets in Australian and New Zealand markets.

ENGV has a suite of long-standing supply agreements with leading global suppliers of hydrogen and renewable gas production, refuelling, compression and transportation equipment and has been working with Hexagon Purus since 2014.

Over the past five years, ENGV has successfully delivered more green hydrogen projects than any other business in Australia. It is a subsidiary of Pacific Energy Group Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian-owned market leader in the delivery of sustainable power generation solutions, which is owned by QIC, a globally significant infrastructure investor.
