A subsidiary of Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure has agreed to get money from North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation, Brookfield Infrastructure Group, and the international trading company ITOCHU Corporation to do more detailed feasibility studies for the Dalrymple Bay Hydrogen Project.
At Hay Point, the Dalrymple Bay Terminal is well-known for its role in supporting the global steel supply chain by exporting steel to 25 countries. Due to its deep-water port, access to the established Mackay industrial zone, availability of land and water, and location within one of Queensland’s Renewable Energy Zones, DBT is an ideal location for a potential green hydrogen facility.
The goal of the feasibility studies is to determine if a regional hydrogen hub can be developed in the vicinity of existing infrastructure. For this purpose, a series of studies will be carried out to determine DBT’s ability to produce its own green hydrogen as well as to handle the exports of green energy from other sources.
All parties to the agreement will contribute equally to the costs of the feasibility studies, which are expected to be completed in about a year. Throughout the project’s lifecycle, DBI will consult with all relevant parties, including the local community, traditional owners, DBT customers, and other interested parties.
