Decarbonisation is set to become easier in hard-to-abate sectors, thanks to two new hydrogen hub projects in regional New South Wales.
Supported by $64 million in funding from the state government announced last month, a 10MW electrolyser near Port Kembla and a 12MW electrolyser near Moree are due to be constructed.
Subject to a final investment decision, BOC plans to develop a hydrogen hub on its existing Port Kembla operations site. The proposed hub will include a 10MW electrolyser powered by renewable energy with capacity to produce approximately four tonnes of green hydrogen per day which could power up to 40 heavy vehicles.
The Moree project plans to expand by another 100MW of capacity in the locality to supply fertiliser to farms in the surrounding region.
The funding is one of the key actions of the New South Wales. Hydrogen Strategy, which sets a target of reducing costs to less than $2.80 per kilogram by 2030.
