bp welcomed the Australian Government’s announcement of up to AUD70 million in support for the development of a green hydrogen hub at bp’s Kwinana location in Western Australia.
The hydrogen hub, which is being created in collaboration with Macquarie Group, has an unmatched combination of existing infrastructure, concentrated industrial demand, and strong links to one of Australia’s largest industrial centers.
The hub will feature a minimum 75 MW electrolyzer, hydrogen storage, compression, and truck loading facilities, as well as enhancements to bp’s existing on-site hydrogen pipeline. The hydrogen generated will be used to meet domestic and export demand, including hydrogen for BP’s renewable fuels production, ammonia, metals and minerals processing, on-site gas blending, and hydrogen for heavy duty transport.
Frédéric Baudry, president, bp Australia and SVP fuels & low carbon solutions, Asia Pacific, said: “We are delighted by this announcement and would like to thank and acknowledge the Federal and Western Australian Governments for their strong support of our plans to develop Kwinana and help activate a regional hydrogen industry.
“bp’s Kwinana hydrogen hub is further demonstration of our progress to becoming a net zero company and helping the world get there too. We believe hydrogen will play a central role in the decarbonization of Australia’s hard-to-abate sectors – particularly heavy industry, mining and transport – and we have the experience, expertise and commercial partnerships to make that happen.”
