Project description
In April 2021, the proponents announced signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to co-operate and proceed with the development of the proposed HyEnergy zero carbon hydrogen facility (“HyEnergy”) to be located in the Shire of Carnarvon, in the Gascoyne region, in Western Australia.
The Project would be developed phases totalling up to 8 GW in installed renewable energy capacity, to be owned by Total Eren, and downstream assets to be equally owned (50/50) by Total Eren and Province.
The proponents are undertaking a scoping study aimed for completion in 2021.
In August 2021, Global Energy Ventures Ltd (GEV) announced that it had entered into a MoU with the proponents to undertake a feasibility study to evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of exporting green hydrogen from the HyEnergy Project. The scope would include transport from the onshore hydrogen gas production facility to an offshore ship loading buoy and then on to nominated Asia-Pacific markets utilising GEV’s compressed hydrogen shipping solution.
In September 2021, GEV announced that it had received up to AUD$300,000 in funding under Round 2 of the Western Australian Government Renewable Hydrogen Fund (feasibility study) to be applied to the feasibility study for the HyEnergy project.
