GEGHA Project: Revolutionizing Australia's Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Sector
Key Ideas
  • The GEGHA initiative in Moree, NSW, combines solar power with low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production, eliminating up to 17,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually.
  • The project will produce green fertilizers for Sundown's Good Earth Cotton operations, with surplus available to regional growers, alongside generating green hydrogen for Hiringa's vehicle refueling infrastructure and farm irrigation systems.
  • GEGHA will transform the regional supply chain by providing stable pricing for green fertilizers, enhancing environmental practices for farmers, and meeting consumer demand for low-carbon products.
  • Supported by the NSW Government and NAB, the project is a significant step towards decarbonizing Australia's agricultural sector and is expected to be fully operational by early 2027.
The Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia (GEGHA) project in Moree, NSW, has achieved Financial Close, signaling the commencement of construction in October this year. This collaborative venture between Hiringa Energy, Sundown Pastoral Company, and the NSW Government aims to revolutionize Australia's green hydrogen industry. The initiative integrates solar power with low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production, with a focus on sustainability and emissions reduction. The plant will annually produce 4,500 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia, significantly reducing CO₂-equivalent emissions and supporting Sundown's sustainable Good Earth Cotton operations. Additionally, the facility will generate 224 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, facilitating emissions reduction in heavy vehicles and irrigation systems. GEGHA not only provides green fertilizers for local producers but also signifies a model for decarbonizing Australia's agricultural sector by transforming the supply chain. By utilizing renewable energy for hydrogen production, the project ensures near-zero carbon emissions in ammonia creation. This approach contrasts with conventional methods reliant on fossil fuels, emphasizing the project's innovation and sustainability. Furthermore, GEGHA's financing from National Australia Bank and support from the NSW Government underpin its commitment to a low-emissions future. The project's expected full operation in early 2027 showcases a promising shift towards sustainable farming practices in Australia, setting a precedent for regional economic resilience and emissions reduction.
