The Clean Energy Precinct (CEP) project plans to see a 220-hectare area of industrial wasteland on Kooragang Island near the New South Wales (NSW) port developed into a clean hydrogen hub.
Optimal Group supplied a 700kW PEM electrolyser to BOC Australia’s Lutana site, which has a reported capacity of up to 262kg of green hydrogen per day.
The hydrogen was produced onboard the Winz Maru vessel and converted to MCH to facilitate safer and efficient handling and transportation.
The two companies will combine FCEL’s SOEC with MMHE’s expertise in large-scale fabrication to develop modular solutions suitable for hydrogen production facilities.
The project aims to identify obstacles for future implementation of the hydrogen carrier and has been equipped with a large-scale electrolyser developed by Eneos.
In an impatient investment landscape with no policy crutches, Hydgen is building its business model on solving real hydrogen supply challenges today.
Tata Motors will deploy two Tata Prima H.55S trucks – one equipped with a hydrogen ICE and the other with a fuel cell – alongside the Tata Prima H.28, an advanced H2ICE truck.
The MRNE has said 37 hydrogen fuel cell and ICE-powered vehicles will be tested, and up to nine refuelling stations could be installed.
The two companies plan to explore opportunities in hydrogen production, blending, transportation and storage, and will also evaluate and develop projects for hydrogen applications across the transport, power and steel sectors.
