The Event

2025 Australian Formula One Grand Prix

For the third consecutive year, Blue Diamond was trusted to help power the 2025 Australian Formula One Grand Prix, held at Melbourne’s iconic Albert Park.

Attracting over 465,000 patrons over four consecutive days, the event featured activation spaces, interactive experiences, meet-and-greets, and autograph signings for fans to engage with drivers and brands.

Over the last few years, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) has had a strong focus on reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, with a strong focus on stationary combustion equipment. For the event, this meant an opportunity to implement low- and zero-emission solutions for onsite generators, light towers, and compressors.

The Solution

The GEH2 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Generator

Blue Diamond Machinery deployed a range of low- and zero-emission technologies to power the innovation hub across the four-day event. This included operating 15 activation marquees, each with multiple interactive gaming simulators.

With mains power unavailable onsite, the GEH2 hydrogen generator provided a sustainable and reliable temporary power solution, replacing diesel generators. Delivering 80 kW of clean power, it provided low- to medium-power loads for the innovation hub with no CO2 emissions, noise, or nasty diesel fumes.

A combination of clean technologies including the GEH2 Generator, ASYNC, and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), was used to meet various high-power demands on-site.

The Outcome

Sustainable Event Power Without Compromise

The fleet of GEH2, ASYNC and BESS units provided efficient & clean power with no interruptions over the 4-day period. Grand Prix fans were able to fully immerse themselves in the interactive innovation hub in the comfort of clean air and minimal noise disruption or CO2 emissions.

The combination of clean energy technologies ensured that ACGP could meet their sustainability objectives without compromising on operational output. It also presents an encouraging case study for hydrogen fuel cell technology for large-scale events in the future.
