Energys Australia Pty Ltd has received planning approval for Victoria's first commercial-scale green hydrogen facility in Hastings, set to commence operations in mid-2025. The project, a collaboration between Energys and Coregas Pty Ltd with financial support from the Victorian Government, will house a powerful 1 MW Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyser capable of producing 425 kilograms of green hydrogen per day. The hydrogen produced will cater to various industrial operations, hydrogen fuel cells in transportation, and stationary power systems. Hastings was chosen for the project due to its strategic location within an industrial and logistics corridor, proximity to existing energy infrastructure, transport routes, and port facilities, as well as the supportive policy environment in Victoria. The partnership between Energys and Coregas aims to establish not just a production plant but the foundation for a functioning hydrogen economy. The project is designed to cater to commercial and industrial hydrogen applications from the outset, providing sustainable fuel alternatives for fleet operators, factories utilizing industrial heat, and off-grid power systems. This initiative aligns with Australia's Net Zero 2050 goals by offering local, scalable green hydrogen production. Furthermore, the Hastings facility is expected to drive demand for green hydrogen, serving as a demonstration site and encouraging the market's acceptance of green hydrogen as a viable alternative. The project is anticipated to create new jobs in manufacturing, logistics, and clean technology, while also pressuring the power grid to become more responsive and renewable-friendly. Victoria's commitment to green initiatives has attracted international attention, with investments from countries like Japan and South Korea in Australian clean hydrogen projects. The focus on domestic industrial decarbonization through ready-to-deploy platforms distinguishes this project, emphasizing a cleaner and more sustainable future. By leveraging advanced technology, operational expertise, and government support, the Hastings facility is primed to lead the way in commercial green hydrogen production, marking a significant milestone in the transition towards clean energy solutions.
