Project description
Hydrogen Park Wagga Wagga is a proposed renewable hydrogen production facility, to be established within the Wagga Wagga Special Activation Precinct (SAP).
If constructed, the facility would produce renewable hydrogen for blending into the Wagga Wagga gas distribution network at a volume of up to 20%. The Wagga Wagga network delivers gas to more than 23,500 connections.
Renewable electricity will be supplied to the hydrogen production facility, transmitted through the local electricity network to the connection point on site.
To ensure renewable energy is used for the electrolysis process, Large-Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) will be purchased by AGIG and surrendered upon use in hydrogen production.
The HyP Wagga Wagga project will be able to produce up to 2.6 tonnes of hydrogen per day via an alkaline electrolyser.
In addition to blending into the local Wagga Wagga gas distribution network via injection at the Bomen city gate, the renewable hydrogen would be available to fill tube trailers for customers requiring pure hydrogen supply.
The location of the site in the Bomen industrial precinct next to the AGN Bomen City Gate allows the facility to take advantage of existing gas infrastructure and its proximity to industry and is well placed to service new and existing industrial hydrogen demand in the region.
HyP Wagga Wagga is located in a key regional transport and logistics hub, with the Riverina Intermodal Freight and Logistics (RiFL) Hub being developed within the Wagga Wagga SAP, along with proximity to key passenger and freight routes between Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and Sydney and Adelaide.
The project aims to participate in Greenpower’s Renewable Gas Certification Pilot to create Renewable Gas Guarantee of Origin (RGGO) certificates attributable to the renewably hydrogen produced, which will be sold to various businesses looking to certify their gas use as renewable.
The project is targeting a final investment decision by mid-2025.
