Project description

In the feasibility study, Origin and ENEOS will jointly examine the potential for the reliable supply of affordable hydrogen made with renewable energy in the region of Gladstone, Queensland. Specifically, Origin will focus on use of renewable energy supply and water electrolysis cells for hydrogen production. ENEOS will be responsible for more efficient production of methylcyclohexane (MCH) and maritime transport of MCH as a form of hydrogen storage and transport from Australia to Japan.
