Green hydrogen, which is produced from water by electrolysis, is an energy-intensive but carbon-free process if driven by renewable electricity. GH2’s objective is to ensure that by 2050, a quarter of the world’s energy originates from green hydrogen.
Within the Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct in Townsville, northern Queensland, renewables developer Edify Energy has been granted development approval to build and operate a green hydrogen production plant with a capacity of up to 1 GW, as well as a behind-the-meter solar and battery storage facility.
The Australian firm claims that its technique can boost fuel cell capacity by up to 60%, and it is currently in the proof of concept stage, where it will be subjected to an independent validation process.
To cut costs, the government has already committed more than $300 million to four hydrogen hubs that will bring together producers, consumers, and exporters in one area.
Air New Zealand will investigate the impact of hydrogen aircraft on its network, operations, and infrastructure under the terms of the agreement.
Toyota wants to expand the number of firms who collaborate on shipments and create a low-cost, reliable supply network.
The centers, according to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, would create employment across Australia and help the country become a worldwide leader in the new energy economy.
Erex will get an undisclosed amount of hydrogen from Tokyo-based Hydrogen Ability (HT), which has the technology to produce 2.6 million m3/yr of hydrogen from water and rock catalysts.
The goal of the study was to find alternatives to precious metal catalysts like platinum, which are presently employed to speed up the reaction when electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, a process known as electrolysis.
