Project description
The project proponent is investigating a phased, large-scale renewables-based hydrogen project located at Aldoga, approximately 18km west of the Gladstone CBD.
Phase 1 of the project would entail construction of a 50 MW electrolytic hydrogen production facility (hydrogen production capacity of approximately 5,500 tonnes per annum) with a focus on domestic market offtake. The facility would be grid connected and include construction of an adjacent ‘behind the meter’ 80 MW solar farm. Water supply is secured from using a water allocation from the Gladstone Area Water Board. Front-end engineering design for Phase 1 has commenced. Commercial operations are anticipated for 2027.
Phase 2 of the project would target construction of a 400 MW electrolysis-based hydrogen production facility (hydrogen production capacity of 50,000 tonnes per annum) that would target export market offtake. The expanded facility would be grid connected and powered remotely using green certificates from a Vena Energy renewable generator in Queensland. Commercial operation for the Phase 2 expansion is targeted for the early 2030s.
