Australia's first whole-of-city renewable hydrogen project, Hydrogen Park Gladstone, has achieved over six months of successful operations in Queensland. The project, operated by the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) and supported by the Queensland Government, has delivered up to 10% blended renewable gas to approximately 700 local homes and businesses in Gladstone. By blending renewable hydrogen with natural gas and utilizing the existing gas distribution network, over one tonne of renewable hydrogen has been produced and distributed to customers. The project was officially opened with the presence of government officials and local representatives, emphasizing the viability and potential of renewable gas as a key component of Australia's renewable energy future. AGIG's approach focuses on scalability and utilizing the current gas distribution network, with a vision to deliver renewable gas at scale across the country. This initiative represents a significant step forward in the transition to renewable gas and underlines the commitment to innovative energy solutions that benefit local industries, create jobs, and contribute to a sustainable energy future.
