The Western Australian government has allocated land in the Oakajee Strategic Industrial Area to global energy consultancy Xodus for a green hydrogen and ammonia project, known as Project MercurHy under Warradarge Energy. The project is set to focus on providing domestic hydrogen to decarbonize the mining and heavy transport sectors initially, with plans to expand into an ammonia export project at the same location. With over 16,000 hectares secured at Warradarge, power supply agreements, and offtake partners in place, the project is in an advanced stage. The project also benefits from renewable power supply, high plant utilization, and a competitive market price. The Australian government's support for hydrogen production, including the hydrogen production tax incentive, is driving the growth of green hydrogen projects in the country. The Warradarge Energy CEO highlights the project's goal of bridging the gap between smaller demonstration size plants and commercial-scale production to drive down costs and accelerate the hydrogen supply chain. Australia's ambition to be a global hydrogen leader is well supported by the increasing number of green hydrogen projects and investments in the country.
