Latest Developments
Queensland has announced a A$15-million commitment to support the development of the facility.
The investment in Stanwell will support FEED studies for a project that could eventually be the biggest renewable hydrogen project in Queensland.
The project has the potential to scale up to produce 800 t/d of green hydrogen by the early 2030s.
The A$15-million in fast-tracked funding, through the A$2-billion Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund, will also help future planning for supply chain and workforce opportunities.
The funding will also help to provide the detail required to support a final investment decision on the project.
