Project description
HyP Adelaide is a proposed 60 Megawatt (MW) Alkaline renewables-based hydrogen production facility located at SA Water’s Bolivar wastewater treatment plant. The project intends to deliver hydrogen to the Gepps Cross city gate via a new 7-kilometre-long hydrogen pipeline. The gas would then be blended at up to 20% by volume into Adelaide’s gas networks, supplying over 450,000 customers. Renewables-based hydrogen would also be supplied to the Bolivar Power Station adjacent to the site, with hydrogen blended into its gas supply at up to 25% by volume.
With production at scale, HyP Adelaide can also provide direct hydrogen and renewable gas certificate sales to industrial gas customers (the latter by industrial users offsetting their gas usage by acquiring renewable gas certificates generated by reference to renewable hydrogen produced at the facility).
In addition, the project is exploring opportunities to supply oxygen and biproducts generated by the facility to the neighbouring wastewater treatment plant and industrial customers.
Renewables-based, grid transmitted electricity for the project would be supplied by the project’s energy supplier, Zen Energy. To maintain flexibility of injecting hydrogen into the gas network, project planning includes seven tonnes of hydrogen storage onsite.
Subject to all relevant approvals and commercial considerations being in place, HyP Adelaide could make a positive final investment decision in the first part of 2026, and on such basis achieve commercial operations in the second half of 2028.
