The Smart Energy Council is very pleased to announce the ActewAGL hydrogen refuelling station in Canberra will be the first project to be certified under our world-leading Zero Carbon Certification Scheme.
ActewAGL’s hydrogen refuelling station is a landmark project – Australia’s first public hydrogen refuelling station.
The Smart Energy Council’s Hydrogen Australia division will certify the claim that the refuelling station is powered by 100% renewable energy and that it is producing zero emissions hydrogen.
It is expected the hydrogen refuelling station will be certified by 30 June 2021.
Founding Partners – Zero Carbon Certification Scheme
The Smart Energy Council and Hydrogen Australia have also announced the initial Founding Partners in the globally significant Zero Carbon Certification Scheme.
The Founding Partners are:
- ACT Government
- Ammonia Energy Association
- CWP Global
- Energy Web
- Evoenergy+
- Star Scientific
- UN COP26 High Level Champions
+ Also members of the ACT Renewable Hydrogen Cluster
The German Energy Agency (dena) and Australian National University+ are Advisors to the Zero Carbon Certification Scheme, and the Green Hydrogen Catapult are joining the scheme as a partner initiative.
The Ammonia Energy Association is a global industry association that promotes the responsible use of ammonia in a sustainable energy economy. The Green Hydrogen Catapult is a global coalition of seven leading renewable hydrogen companies seeking to accelerate the scale and production of green hydrogen 50-fold in the next six years.
The Smart Energy Council’s Hydrogen Australia division will coordinate the certification project and has today released a limited request for tender to appoint the certifying agency.

![]() CWP was founded in 2007 based on a passion for renewables and the opportunities that a timely entry into the emerging renewable energy market in Southeast Europe (SEE) presented. After entering Australia in 2008, they successfully developed a 2 GW renewable energy platform, pioneering new business models such as corporate PPAs and non-recourse financing based on value-enhancing part merchant offtake strategies. CWP Global was formed in late 2020 after a merger between CWP Renewables and the Grassroots Renewable Energy Trust, creating a multi-billion dollar integrated renewables company in partnership with Partners Group. CWP Global is one of the lead developers on the 26GW Asian Renewable Energy Hub project. |

![]() Star Scientific Limited was founded by Andrew Horvath who is its Global Group Chairman. Early years were spent working to advance muon-catalysed fusion, which led to the tangential development of a unique catalyst which reacted with hydrogen and oxygen to create heat. This became the award-winning HERO – the Hydrogen Energy Release Optimiser, a zero-emissions hydrogen energy and heat solution. |
