Hydrogen large-scale, demonstration and pilot projects

Industry Projects covers large-scale and demonstration projects in Australia and New Zealand. It includes projects across the full asset life-cycle spectrum – from those under development (including where a development study has been completed), to those under construction, to those in operation, and finally completed projects. Definitions used in classifying a project’s status (or asset life-cycle stage)

HyResource includes 111 hydrogen-related projects (106 in Australia, five in New Zealand). There are 21 projects that are Operating or Under Construction (20 in Australia, one in New Zealand). One project is completed (the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain – Pilot Project). The projects listed on HyResource cover the full spectrum of end-use activities, with a focus on hydrogen mobility, hydrogen in gas networks and industrial process-ammonia production. Search the table below by the main end-use classifications.

A full description of each project can be accessed by clicking on the specific Project Title. For major milestone events, project information is updated in as close to real-time as possible, supplemented by a half-yearly review process.

HyResource Projects Map – Reference Notes

The HyResource hydrogen projects map provides a spatial representation of projects across Australia as well as filtering capability by status, main end-use, and main proponents. Users should be aware of the following points:

  • Map information may lag updates to the HyResource projects listing
  • Pin markers (GPS coordinates) reflects a mixture of specific locations confirmed by proponents, general locations endorsed by proponents, or general locations consistent with project descriptions
  • Many projects have identified single end uses, many have indicated multiple end-use options, and for many end-use options are under study. For ease of use purposes, main end-use options has been ‘restricted’ to around 10, with options written to keep consistency with the project descriptions.
  • It is possible to do incremental filtering within each filter category (e.g. status) but simultaneous use of multiple filters (e.g. status plus main end-use) leads to spurious results.

Industry project activity locations can also be viewed on a map of Australia through Geoscience Australia’s AusH2 tool.
