- bp completes feasibility study to develop green hydrogen hub in Kwinana
- Study part of Cook Government’s $180 million investment in renewable hydrogen
- The creation of a green hydrogen hub is another step towards net zero by 2050
Western Australia is a step closer to the creation of a large-scale green hydrogen hub with
bp completing its concept development phase study into its energy hub H2Kwinana.
The study identified two potential base case scenarios, with the hub producing either 44 tonnes per day of green hydrogen or 143 tonnes per day.
The potential growth target of 429 tonnes per day was selected as the third and final case.
With the study complete, bp is a step closer to achieving a final investment decision for the H2Kwinana project.
The potential H2Kwinana hub will be able to provide a renewable hydrogen supply for domestic and export markets, and support the creation of new green industries.
To create green hydrogen the required electrical power is derived from renewable energy sources or by procuring Renewable Electricity Certificates.
The green hydrogen produced would be used by bp, other industrial customers, tube trailer loading and vehicle refuelling.
As stated by Hydrogen Industry Minister Bill Johnston:
“With the completion of this feasibility study Western Australia is a step closer to the creation of a green hydrogen hub.
“Kwinana has been a central hub of fuel operations for the past 65 years, the potential development of a green hydrogen hub would progress the decarbonisation of the Kwinana Industrial Area.
“These kinds of projects are possible thanks to the WA Labor Government’s $180 million investment into renewable hydrogen.”
