In Brisbane, Australia, Lion Energy has announced a $10 million partnership with Mitsubishi subsidiary DGA Energy Solutions Australia and Samsung C&T Corporation to establish a green hydrogen production project at The Port of Brisbane. This development is seen as a significant step towards creating a sustainable future for transportation in the region. The project, based on a 'hub and spoke' model, aims to produce more than 300 tonnes of green hydrogen per year and facilitate the refuelling of Brisbane's upcoming bus fleet.
