And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. The 124-megawatt solar plant adjacent to Korea Zinc’s Townsville refinery, completed in 2018, cut a quarter of the coal-heavy grid power it had been using to run its power-intensive electrolytic process. Why a hydrogen truck?
