Western Australia’s McGowan Government has stumped up $1.68 million to support renewable hydrogen feasibility studies across the state.<\/p>\n

The money is coming from the State Government’s Renewable Hydrogen Fund, part of WA’s Renewable Hydrogen Strategy<\/a> that has a goal of setting up Western Australia as a major producer, consumer and exporter.<\/p>\n

“Western Australia needs to explore how we can produce, use and provide energy to our international partners through clean and reliable sources – renewable energy via hydrogen provides a means to do this,” said<\/a> Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan. “This (sic) feasibility studies will facilitate significant private sector investment and leverage financial support for a job-creating renewable hydrogen industry in WA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Renewable hydrogen – or “green” hydrogen – is based on using electricity generated by sources such as hydro, wind or solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using an electrolyser. Oddly-named “blue hydrogen” is created using fossil fuels. Perhaps the WA Government’s Strategy document should have used a different shading for the image above.<\/p>\n

19 applications for feasibility study funding were submitted, of which seven have been selected. Those to get a guernsey are:<\/p>\n

ATCO Australia Pty Ltd<\/strong> – A 10 MW production plant in the Great Southern or Wheatbelt region.<\/p>\n

City of Cockburn<\/strong> (Perth) – Solar hydrogen production for waste collection and light vehicles. The City’s study will also look at cogeneration (heat and electricity) opportunities.<\/p>\n

DBNGP (WA) Nominees Pty Ltd<\/strong> – Examining the compatibility of the natural gas transmission pipeline in the Pilbara, Mid West, Metro and Peel regions with blended hydrogen.<\/p>\n

Energy Developments Limited<\/strong> – Integration of renewable hydrogen production with isolated power stations in the Goldfields-Esperance and Kimberley regions.<\/p>\n

Hazer Group Limited<\/strong> – Hydrogen refuelling infrastructure hub in the City of Mandurah and associated transport applications.<\/p>\n

Murdoch University<\/strong> – Hybrid solar PV-battery-hydrogen microgrid system for an indigenous community in the Pilbara.<\/p>\n

Pacific Hydro Australia Developments Pty Ltd<\/strong> – Production facility near Kununurra utilising existing hydro power generation.<\/p>\n

High Hopes For Hydrogen in WA<\/h2>\n

The McGowan Government sees renewable hydrogen as having the potential to displace the use of fossil fuels in transport, heat and power generation; as well as offering a carbon-neutral feedstock for a wide range of industrial processes and providing energy storage and other services to support electricity grid reliability.<\/p>\n

In addition to local applications, the McGowan Government is also hungrily eyeing the export market – as is South Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the export – or even local – market won’t be as lucrative as hoped. Some of the optimism is based on a report<\/a> released by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) back in 2018 forecasting Australian hydrogen exports could contribute $1.7 billion and 2,800 jobs to the national economy by 2030. SQ\u2019s Ronald believes that report was \u201cworse than useless<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

In late November last year, ARENA announced<\/a> a funding round of up to $70 million to help fast track renewable hydrogen development in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
