The Australian State of Western Australia has taken a significant step towards transforming its energy landscape with the allocation of land for the development of a commercial scale green hydrogen and ammonia project by energy consultancy Xodus and partners under the Warradarge Energy banner. Known as the MercurHy project, this initiative is set to be executed in multiple phases, starting with 150 MW capacity in Phase 1 and expanding to 1,000 MW by the completion of Phase 3. The primary focus in the initial stages will be on supplying domestic hydrogen to support the decarbonization efforts in the mining and heavy transport sectors. Partners involved in the project have already initiated discussions for power supply agreements with an existing wind park and have potential off-take partners lined up. Additionally, there are plans to explore the production of ammonia for export markets in the later phases. The Australian Government's introduction of a hydrogen production tax incentive (HPTI) of AUD2/kg aims to encourage renewable hydrogen production by providing financial support to eligible producers over a 10-year period. This legislative incentive is part of the Future Made in Australia legislation and is intended to boost the growth of the hydrogen industry in the country. The MercurHy project signifies a major step towards sustainable energy development in the region and highlights the commitment to leveraging renewable sources for industrial applications while contributing to global efforts in reducing carbon emissions.
