Future Fuels
ACOR is focused on future fuels to support Australia’s energy transition. As specialists in design, risk, safety, audit, and compliance, ACOR can help to equip your organisation for the safe and compliant storage and handling of future fuels such as hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and lithium-ion batteries.
ACOR has established internal working groups comprising representatives across Australia, ensuring we stay abreast of the latest Australian standards and market transitions.
Services we can offer include risk analysis, risk assessments, HAZOP/HAZID, compliance audits, Dangerous Goods licensing, Major Hazard Facility safety case preparation, Hazardous Area Classification, emergency response, fire safety studies, and training.
ACOR has completed various future fuel projects, including detailed studies and modelling to understand the risk of a battery fault scenario and hydrogen facility fire or explosion event that can lead to life-threatening consequences. We have conducted Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) for hydrogen storage and use, as well as Dangerous Goods compliance and licensing for future fuels and renewable energy facilities.
