Hydrogen and fuel cells

Hydrogen technology in Australia

Australian hydrogen demand is project-led. Buyers include mining and resources companies, infrastructure owners, utilities, construction contractors and government-backed projects, and they buy through engineering firms, tenders and pilots more often than from a catalogue.

We help overseas manufacturers of fuel cells, hydrogen generators, electrolysers and related equipment find the applications where their technology is ready for Australian use, reach the people who decide, and deliver first projects. Stationary power, such as fuel-cell generators replacing diesel on sites, is an area we know well.

What we do

Our work for hydrogen companies

  • Applications and buyers. Which Australian users can adopt your technology now, given fuel supply, site conditions and cost.
  • Partners. Local engineering firms, integrators, gas suppliers and, where it makes sense, assembly or manufacturing partners.
  • Standards and approvals. Coordinating the specialists who handle Australian standards, hazardous area and site safety requirements.
  • Tenders and pilots. Preparing bids, structuring pilots so they lead to orders, and attending site meetings.
  • Funding. Identifying relevant government programmes, such as those from ARENA, and the partners needed to apply.
Proof

Selected work

EODev / TMCA (Toyota) GEH2

Building the APAC commercial market for EODev’s GEH2 stationary hydrogen fuel-cell generators, now assembled locally by Toyota Australia. Riverstone has arranged the bulk of the current customer deals on the ground and continues to open opportunities across the region — bridging European technology with APAC end-users in mining, infrastructure and utility operators.

Questions

Common questions

Is Australia a good first market for hydrogen technology outside Europe?

It can be, especially for off-grid and site power where diesel is the alternative, but it depends on your product and fuel supply. We give a straight answer after the Market Diagnostic.

Do you work with fuel cells as well as electrolysers?

Yes. Our hydrogen experience is mainly in stationary fuel-cell power, and we assess electrolyser and other hydrogen equipment case by case.

Who buys hydrogen equipment in Australia?

Typically mining and resources companies, infrastructure and utility operators, construction contractors and project developers, often through an engineering firm or a tender.

Can you help with government funding?

We identify relevant programmes and partners and support the commercial case. Funding decisions rest with the agencies.
