The energy required for the electrolysis will be sourced from a wind farm and an on-site 1.2-megawatt solar power system Moreland Council plans to build.<\/p>\n<p>According to Moreland Mayor Helen Davidson, the cost of running the vehicles on hydrogen <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/DV36qG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">will be the same<\/a> as diesel; but without the emissions. Project partner H2U states an added bonus will be a reduction in vehicle noise.<\/p>\n<p>The station will initially create fuel for 12 of Council\u2019s waste collection trucks, with view to transitioning City of Moreland&#8217;s entire heavy fleet in the future. Construction of the refuelling station is expected to commence in 2018 and it will be fully operational by early 2020.<\/p>\n<h2>Towards Zero Emissions<\/h2>\n<p>Moreland is a municipality in the inner north of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installers\/melbourne\/\">Melbourne<\/a>, covering 50.9 square kilometres and incorporating suburbs including Brunswick East\/ West, Coburg\/North, Fawkner, Glenroy, Pascoe Vale\/South and Oak Park.<\/p>\n<p>Moreland City Council was the second Victorian local government and the third council in Australia to be certified carbon neutral for its corporate operations. It also has a plan in place to reduce carbon emissions across the Moreland community 22 per cent by 2020 (based on 2011 levels). According to its <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/bnWQh9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zero Carbon Evolution Strategy<\/a> (PDF), the Moreland community is on track to reaching zero carbon by 2045.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solar power<\/a> has played an important role in Moreland&#8217;s carbon reduction efforts, both in terms of Council&#8217;s own operations and in the wider community.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Moreland has always been a recognised leader when it comes to sustainability initiatives and this world first project will take us closer to achieving our zero emissions goal,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/8SMz2t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Cr. Davidson when the hydrogen refuelling station project was originally announced earlier this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The $9.37 million project is being supported with $1 million from the Victorian Government under the $20 million <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/r3dQBW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> New Energy Jobs Fund<\/a> (NEJF) .<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re investing in new energy technology to reduce greenhouse emissions and create jobs,&#8221;
