EnerMech has signed a distribution agreement with energy mobility and storage specialist Wolftank Group to bring hydrogen refuelling stations to Australia and New Zealand’s industrial sectors.
The Australian arm of the global integrated solutions will supply, install, commission, and maintain Wolftank’s unique hydrogen refuelling stations. First customer orders have already been received, and the two companies will cooperate in order to install mobile hydrogen stations across Australia.

The portable hydrogen refuelling stations are particularly suited to sectors such as mining where worksites are typically found in remote locations with fewer hydrogen refuelling opportunities available. The firm’s innovative technology allows hydrogen-powered vehicles to be fast-refilled on a par with traditional petrol or diesel fuelled freight.
EnerMech has previously supported large scale hydrogen projects and LNG projects in the Asia Pacific region and has the capabilities to provide expert support with the full turnkey solutions, from mechanical and electrical services to full commissioning of the facility.
EnerMech regional director Asia Pacific Garry Ford said, “Hydrogen produces no carbon emissions providing a flexible, storable and safe alternative for companies operating in transport intense sectors such as mining and heavy haulage, where operations are often based in outlying places. However, one of the main challenges is the lack of refuelling infrastructure in these remote areas to make it a viable solution. This is why Wolftank’s hydrogen refuelling station is set to be a game-changer.
“We are very excited to be involved with such a forward thinking and trusted company as Wolftank, with a proven track record of helping their customers to realise green sustainability goals for transportation. Our business has been working in the hydrogen space for some time and this partnership positions EnerMech for further growth in the renewables sector.”

Wolftank Group CEO Peter Werth said, “We deliver our innovative hydrogen technologies to around a dozen countries, ranging from transport and conversion to electricity to distribution with mobile or stationary refuelling systems. With EnerMech, we have found a perfect partner to supply Australia and New Zealand now as well with our solutions. This is another important step on our expansion course. Our goal is to help build the necessary infrastructure for a zero-emission future all around the world.”
