Community groups put your hat in the ring for a generator

Rural and regional community groups across Australia now have the opportunity to apply for a cutting edge hydrogen power generator valued at $390,000, offering clean, reliable, off grid power with zero emissions.

The GEH2® hydrogen power generator is being made available through a partnership between Toyota Australia, EODev, Blue Diamond Machinery, and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal.

The initiative aims to help communities reduce emissions while building local capability in renewable energy technology. The generators are designed to support a diverse range of applications including community events, construction and infrastructure projects, and disaster response scenarios.

The technology provides an alternative to traditional diesel generators, delivering power without producing harmful emissions.

Community organisations interested in accessing this technology can submit expressions of interest through the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal's website.

The program represents a significant investment in regional Australia's transition toward cleaner energy sources, particularly for areas where grid connection may be limited or unavailable.

The partnership combines Toyota Australia's expertise in mobility solutions, EODev's hydrogen generator technology, Blue Diamond Machinery's equipment support, and FRRR's experience in supporting rural and regional communities.

Together, these organisations are working to make advanced clean energy technology accessible to communities that may otherwise lack the resources to invest in such equipment.

Expressions of interest for the hydrogen generator program close on November 30 2025.

Eligible community groups can find further information and application details at frrr.org.au/funding/hydrogen-generator.
