Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia (March 11, 2024) – Australia-based H2 Hauler, a company that designs, manufactures and certifies compressed hydrogen storage and distribution equipment, has chosen to partner with global technology and software leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR technology cooperation, by Emerson to provide a comprehensive, integrated hydrogen mobility business management system.

LNL-1320-S3 Low-emission hydrogen has the potential to accelerate the energy transition, and more than 40 countries have published national hydrogen strategies. Achieving these goals on a large scale requires the technology and infrastructure to safely and reliably store and transport high-pressure hydrogen from production plants to industrial facilities, power stations or hydrogen refueling stations.

Emerson’s comprehensive range of automation products, mobility solutions and hydrogen expertise helped automate H2 Hauler’s hydrogen filling and monitoring systems, manage trade handovers and monitor long-tube trailer operations for safe and sustainable hydrogen transport.

Tyson Cooney, Chief executive of H2 Hauler, said: “As we expand our business in the manufacture of hydrogen on-road transportation and storage products, we believe Emerson’s proven automation technology and software will not only ensure the safe storage and distribution of hydrogen, but also support the critical management and audit capabilities needed to make this emerging industry the LNL-1320-S3 impact it deserves.”

Emerson’s powerful solution incorporates DeltaV™ PK controllers, flame and gas detection systems, valves and actuators optimized for H2 Hauler’s hydrogen distribution skids and trailer mounted units. Emerson also offers a cloud-based secure data platform for remote viewing and control of devices – optimizing operational performance with real-time data.

Mike Train, Emerson’s chief sustainability officer, said: “As demand for hydrogen in heavy-duty vehicles continues to rise, we need systems in place to safely, reliably and efficiently move hydrogen from where it is produced to where it is needed. We look forward to providing H2 Hauler with its hydrogen mobility technology as it drives the development of Australia’s mobile hydrogen infrastructure.”

Emerson provides expertise and experience across the entire hydrogen value chain. Emerson is working with a range of hydrogen customers, including BayoTech, which is building modular hydrogen units to deliver hydrogen energy to customers; Toyota Australia has established a commercial-grade hydrogen production, storage and hydrogenation plant; KOHYGEN is building a network of high-capacity gas or liquid hydrogen fuel supply stations across South Korea.
