Aussie-first hydrogen servo opens
Australia's first hydrogen refuelling station has opened in Geelong, setting the stage for the regional city to be serviced by hydrogen-powered and emission-free heavy vehicles. The renewable facility is the first of its kind in the country and also offers fast charging for commercial electric vehicles. Deputy Prime Minister and local member Richard Marles attended the launch of the station and said it represented 'the future'. 'This is a really significant step and actually, I think, a very memorable day in Australia's renewable energy story, but very much in Australia's hydrogen story,' said Mr Marles. 'Hydrogen is a great hope in terms of decarbonising the Australian economy and actually globally, dealing with the challenge of climate change. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles attended the official opening the Viva Energy Hub in Geelong. NewsWire / Luis Enrique Ascui Credit: News Corp Australia 'We are so well positioned as a nation, given our abundant renewable energy sources in solar and wind, but also because we're at the forefront of commercial long distance vehicle use, which is really one of the great applications of hydrogen as a commercial fuel.' He said the new refuelling station was 'so important' and the government was looking forward to further use of hydrogen in commercial transport. Viva Energy chief strategy officer Lachlan Pfeiffer said it marked a change in Australia's efforts to reduce emissions and make a more sustainable heavy transport sector. 'Offering hydrogen refuelling alongside fast charging for commercial EV vehicles – and the potential for renewable diesel in the future – is recognition that we believe the pathway to net zero will require a mix of new fuels and technologies alongside traditional offerings,' he said. The station will be capable of dispensing at least 300kg of hydrogen every two hours, which Viva said would give a similar experience to filling up a diesel engine. It should be capable of refuelling at least 10 trucks at once. The facility is reportedly capable of refuelling 10 heavy vehicles at once. NewsWire / Luis Enrique Ascui Credit: News Corp Australia The project will use renewable electricity to generate green hydrogen, using recycled water from the nearby Barwon Water Northern Water Plant. Barwon Water managing director Shaun Cumming said the facility would help decarbonise its vehicle fleet. 'We're excited to work with Viva Energy and the other vehicle operators on an innovative project that could deliver lasting benefits for the region and beyond.' Viva said the scale of hydrogen production in the region meant there would be capacity to sell it onwards to other commercial customers.

'Legendary': jackpot lottery winner yet to claim $100m
A jackpot-winning lottery player could be blissfully unaware their bank balance is about to receive a $100 million bump. The mystery player held the only division-one winning entry in Thursday's $100 million Powerball jackpot draw. Lottery officials are waiting for the winner to come forward, as they have no way of contacting them because their ticket was not registered. The winning entry was bought from Bondi Junction Newsagency and Internet Cafe, in Sydney's eastern suburbs. "It's legendary to hear we've sold the winning ticket," owner Manish said on Saturday. "I'm hoping it's one of our regular customers but you never know, it could be a tourist too. We're located right next to the closest station to Bondi Beach." An estimated 10 million Australians took a punt on winning the $100 million top prize. While winners in NSW have six years to claim their prizes, The Lott spokeswoman Eliza Wregg urged players to check their tickets. "With a winning entry tucked away in their car, wallet or stuck on their fridge door, one NSW player is walking around completely oblivious to the fact their life has forever changed," she said. A Queensland woman was the last person to take home $100m, pocketing half of a $200 million Powerball jackpot in February 2024. The odds of a single entry winning the division-one prize are more than 134 million to one. The winning numbers on Thursday were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21 and the Powerball number was 6.

Toyota says its hybrids have saved nine million EVs worth of CO2
Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda has reinforced his company's commitment to prioritising hybrid vehicles (HEVs) over battery-electric vehicles (EVs or BEVs), outlining that hybrids are its ideal way forward in terms of reducing total CO2 emissions. Speaking through an interpreter in a recent interview with Automotive News, Toyoda-san said Toyota is as committed to reducing the environmental impact of cars as any other brand, but has adopted a cost- and time-effective way to go about reducing its carbon emissions. "When the term 'carbon neutrality' started to become popular and we started to hear about it, we set our target as a company saying that for us, the enemy is carbon," he said. "The way that we thought about it was that we're not going to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality just by building BEVs, but we have to focus on things that we can do now so that, immediately, we can reduce CO2 from the air.

"We looked at ourselves [and asked] 'what can we do with the things that we have to contribute to carbon neutrality?' That was the base of how we made our decision in those times, and that has not changed now, and will not change for the future." Toyoda-san is referring to the widespread rollout of hybrid vehicles, which dominate the Japanese brand's current model range. Toyota is credited with creating the first mass-produced hybrid car in the late 1990s, and has continued to develop the technology to the market-leading status it holds today. The company's passenger car lineup is now dominated by hybrids, evidenced by the Japanese brand's Australian axing of all petrol versions of cars that offer hybrid options in 2024. Hybrids continue to play a significant role in Toyota's global efforts too, not least in its home country. Toyoda-san claims that over the past five years, the focus on hybrids played a larger role in reducing Japanese CO2 emissions than EVs. Above: Toyota Hybrid range "If you can check the data for each country about the CO2 emission situation for the past five years, it's going to be very clear," Toyoda-san said. "For Japan, we had this weapon of hybrid vehicles, so with the hybrid vehicles, we were able to reduce 23 per cent of CO2 emissions in the same [time], and it was the only country that was able to achieve that." Toyoda-san added that his company has produced and delivered upwards of 27 million hybrids to date, and claimed that figure was "equivalent to nine million BEVs in terms of the contribution to carbon neutrality". "The hybrids that we made and sold had the same impact as nine million BEVs on the road, but if we were to make nine million BEVs in [Japan] it would have actually increased the CO2 emissions, not reduced, because we are relying on thermal powerplants." Despite that, Toyoda-san reaffirmed that HEVs aren't the only way forward, pointing to Toyota's continued development of internal combustion petrol and diesel engines (ICEs), as well as EVs, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Toyota recently revealed the next-generation RAV4 mid-size SUV (above), which will be the brand's first PHEV in Australia. The Mirai FCEV is currently being used by corporate fleets and government partners locally via very limited leases, too. The Japanese auto giant is also part of an alliance with Subaru and Mazda to develop lower-emission ICEs into the future. "I think we shouldn't just focus on [BEV] … but we should look at all the options that we have and work in all directions," Toyoda-san said. "That will be similar to thinking as a person of the planet, not just from one perspective, but thinking about the whole planet, and then we can think about the various options and take the movements to reduce CO2 as much as possible. "I believe if everyone can support this way of thinking, it will be for the benefit of all the stakeholders too."
