Project description
In August 2021, Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure Limited (DBI) announced that it had executed a Memorandum of Understanding with North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP), the Brookfield Group, and ITOCHU Corporation, to study the potential for a renewable-based hydrogen production, storage and export facility at the Dalrymple Bay Terminal at Hay Point, south of Mackay in Queensland.
The Dalrymple Bay Terminal is an established, deep-water export port, is close to the established Mackay industrial zone and is positioned within one of Queensland’s Renewable Energy Zones.
In February 2022, the project proponents announced the execution of a Funding Agreement for the purposes of financing Phase 1 of the feasibility studies (see ASX announcement of 24 February 2022 by Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure Ltd). The Phase 1 studies will focus on market analysis, the scope and scale of upgrades required to existing port infrastructure, and the renewable energy generating potential of the region surrounding the terminal.
