Professional Services for Optimal Hydrogen Refuelling Station Site Analysis and Highway Refuelling Network Rollout Plan for Queensland

The Department of Energy and Public Works (the Department) requires professional services to deliver a comprehensive package of works to help identify and evaluate potential locations for hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) in Queensland and developing a subsequent plan for the phased rollout of refuelling sites to support the adoption of hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles.

The primary objective of this work is to identify a series of optimal refuelling station locations for line-haul transport heavy vehicles in Queensland, and develop a phased rollout plan, including proposed sites, maps and program timing for a Queensland hydrogen refuelling network.

It is recommended that the successful applicant would assess each potential site individually with the primary focus on the HRS being publicly available and supporting line-haul operations (particularly for Southeast Queensland) and secondarily, should look at the merits and potential to support a back-to-base model for each site to achieve maximum utilisation.

Suitable sites need to be informed by industry/market engagement and support back to base operations for heavy vehicles. Buses should be identified to supplement the primary objective.

The Department requires the delivery of a package of works for the development of a Queensland Hydrogen Refuelling Network. The package should include -

1. A staged Refuelling Network Rollout Plan
2. A Refuelling Network Site Map
3. Site Location Analysis Report and Recommendations
4. A public facing summary document
5. Industry/market engagement plan, report and summary
6. Key Assumptions and Models for Assessment
7. Presentation(s) (in an editable PPT format)
