Australia’s First Hydrogen Powered Renewable Energy Commercial Tourism Vessel.
The H2Rendezvous Project
About The H2Rendezvous Project
A world first, a Great Barrier Reef tourism vessel that is stylish and luxurious in every detail and powered by 100% clean, green renewable energy produced locally in the Whitsundays.
You step aboard, find your sunbed and relax. The dock lines are dropped and the vessel leaves its berth, in total silence. No rumble of combustion engines, no sign or smell of smoke just the sound of the sleek hulls cutting through the water. This tour will be a completely unique experience and one that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Rendezvous will be the first vessel of its kind, and the future of marine tourism. Queensland has the opportunity to be host to the first Hydrogen-powered zero emission renewable energy tourism vessel.
The installation of the first Hydrogen production, storage and delivery facility in the Whitsunday region and others in Central QLD in conjunction with the construction of the first Hydrogen powered commercial marine tourism vessel will be a critical step in Queensland’s transition to renewable energy transport infrastructure.
Zero Emissions
One of the key components required for the success of The H2Rendezvous Project is reliable sustainable access to green Hydrogen. It is critical that multiple independent Memorandum of Understanding concerning supply and purchase agreements with local multifaceted Hydrogen production companies are established to ensure a consistent daily supply.
One such company is H2EC, who will be responsible for the construction and delivery of a renewable energy generation facility, that is required for the newly established Agave farm located between Proserpine and Bowen.
An Ocean of Opportunity
For Queensland’s tourism businesses and communities, climate change is both a risk and an opportunity too big to ignore. Increasing costs of extreme weather events, changes to natural resources, and the transition towards a decarbonised global economy are all highly relevant to tourism.
A strategic plan, underpinned by ambitious actions, will support Queensland’s tourism industry to respond to climate risks and opportunities.
Against the background of the wider Queensland policy framework on climate change, the Building a resilient tourism industry: Queensland Tourism Climate Change Response Plan (Tourism Sector Adaptation Plan) provides a roadmap for the tourism industry to respond proactively to climate change, and to lead the way as a steward for the environment and a key contributor to community wellbeing.
