Project description
Vena Energy, a renewable energy solutions company in the Asia Pacific region, is developing the Euroa Hydrogen Project located in Aldoga, in the Gladstone region. This initiative aims to produce renewable hydrogen for both domestic use and export to markets such as Japan and South Korea. Currently, the project is undergoing design engineering for a phased commercial-scale development.
Phase 1 of the Euroa Hydrogen Project comprises a 50 MW electrolytic hydrogen production system, storage and tube trailer filling station for distribution via road transportation focussing on domestic markets in hydrogen mobility and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), producing up to 6,000 tonnes per annum of renewable hydrogen. The facility would be grid connected, with Vena Energy ensuring electrolyser grid connection compliance in line with stability requirements. Water supply would be secured through a water allocation from the Gladstone Area Water Board. The project proponent had advised that front-end engineering design (FEED) for Phase 1 has commenced and commercial operation is anticipated for 2027.
Phase 2 comprises development of an additional 400 MW facility that would target export markets through derivative production for power generation, with an estimated capacity of up to 50,000 tonnes per annum of renewable hydrogen production. The facility would be grid connected and powered remotely using green certificates from a renewable generator in Queensland. The project proponent had advised that preliminary front-end engineering design for Phase 2 has commenced and commercial operation for Phase 2 targeted for early 2030.
