Project description

The Hydrogen Utility (H2U), an Australian-based developer of hydrogen infrastructure, is proposing a large-scale chemical complex at Gladstone, Queensland, for the production of renewable hydrogen and ammonia.

The proposed development would be constructed in stages to integrate up to 3 gigawatts (GW) in electrolyser plant (supplied solely by renewable electricity) and up to 5,000 tonnes per day in ammonia production capacity.

Through the Queensland Government’s land use planning and property development agency, Economic Development Queensland (EDQ), H2U have purchased a 171-hectare site at Yarwun in the Gladstone State Development Area, which is in close proximity to the export precinct at Fisherman’s Landing.

H2U is planning to move to the detailed feasibility stage and has targeted approvals by 2023 and first production by 2025.
