A green hydrogen project in the Hunter Valley has received a boost from the Australian government with a $432 million funding allocation under the Hydrogen Headstart program. This financial support will enable Orica to transition its ammonia plant in Kooragang Island from using fossil fuel-based hydrogen to producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. The project, equipped with a 50 MW electrolyser powered by renewable energy, is expected to yield approximately 4700 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, supporting regional job creation and reducing emissions from ammonia production. The government's initiative aims to bolster green hydrogen production, drive down costs, and position Australia as a global leader in green hydrogen technology for heavy industry and transportation. Despite challenges faced by the renewable hydrogen sector, the government remains resolute in its commitment to supporting such projects. The cancellation of the Central Queensland Hydrogen Project serves as a setback, but the government's focus on decarbonisation and climate change mitigation through green hydrogen remains unwavering. The transition to green hydrogen not only aligns with global decarbonisation targets but also presents economic opportunities for Australia to export clean hydrogen and ammonia. The industry's growth is crucial for Australia's decarbonisation plans, as emphasized by the Clean Energy Council's positive reception of the government's efforts in advancing renewable hydrogen projects.
