Hyzon Motors Inc. and Woodside Energy revealed an agreement to collaborate on developing supply of zero carbon intensity hydrogen and building demand from medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle customers in the U.S. and Australia.

 Under the agreement, the companies will evaluate opportunities to develop green hydrogen production facilities. Initially, the project will focus on liquid hydrogen supply projects to support Hyzon’s future liquid hydrogen onboard mobility use cases – including ultra-long range trucks already under development, and aviation, marine and rail applications.

The hydrogen hubs will be developed and located to serve existing and potential demand for Hyzon ultra-long-range trucks and future high energy usage mobility use cases, thus creating a highly utilized and efficient hydrogen ecosystem. The companies will collaborate in assessing and developing customer demand for fleet conversions, in addition to usage in Woodside and its affiliates’ operations internationally.

"By partnering with Woodside to develop liquid hydrogen supply, Hyzon furthers its goal of decarbonizing heavy transport by reducing the infrastructure development requirements which currently hinder long-range trucks from converting to hydrogen,” said Parker Meeks, Hyzon’s Chief Strategy Officer. “This is particularly relevant for the Australian market, where freight corridors face especially long distances between refueling, as well as for coast-to-coast trucking in the U.S.”
