Project description
The Gingerah Energy Hub is a large-scale integrated project development that, on present planning, would involve:
- Three Gigawatts (GW) of new-build renewable energy generation capacity, with the project citing access to solar, wind and geothermal resources
- Over 1 GW of electrolysis capacity, with the potential to produce around 180,000 tonnes of renewables-based hydrogen per annum
- The produced hydrogen would be capable of supporting the production of up to one million tonnes per annum of renewables-based ammonia, mainly for export markets in the Asian region.
The project would be located in the northwest of Western Australia, south of Broome and northeast of Port Headland.
The project website indicates the Gingerah Energy Hub has secured tenure to 10,000 kilometres of vacant unallocated crown land and the project has advised that it has signed an indigenous land use agreement (ILUA) with the Karajarri Traditional Lands Association.
The project has advised that it is presently in the pre-feasibility stage and is targeting to progress to feasibility studies by 2026.
The project has advised that it is targeting to commence the environmental approvals process by the end of 2025, with baseline data collection to be undertaken over the course of the year.
The project has advised that ground water resources is intended for use in the project.
