Project description
The project proponent plans to source locally generated wind power close to the Port of Portland in Victoria. A five (5) MW electrolyser would produce hydrogen gas, which would supply domestic demand in mobility and natural gas blending. Domestic green fertiliser production is also under consideration along with expanding the project in later years to supply the export markets in North Asia.
Discussions are under way to decarbonise industry where possible with hydrogen either directly or blended with natural gas. The offtake target markets are located from South Australia’s Limestone Coast to Warrnambool.
