A$350m green hydrogen project in Western Australia progresses

Infinite Green Energy’s landmark A$350m green hydrogen project has taken a major step forward this week after the green hydrogen specialist partnered with Petrofac for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) design.

The Australian company today said it has inked a deal with international energy services firm Petrofac to progress the Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project through front end engineering design (FEED) to support the final investment decision in early 2021.

Located north of Perth, Australia, the Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project will produce 23 tonnes of green hydrogen per day, once completed, with the ability to be expanded to a global scale plant supporting the export of liquid hydrogen to the Asia-Pacific region.

Plans for Australian renewable hydrogen plant gain ground with EPC appointment

Plans to build a $A350 million commercial-scale renewable hydrogen plant north of Perth in Western Australia have taken a major step forward this week, after energy services company Petrofac was tapped to conduct the engineering, procurement and design for the facility.

Green Hydrogen specialist Infinite Blue Energy Group said on Monday that it had entered into an agreement with Petrofac to progress the landmark Arrowsmith project through front-end engineering design ahead of the final investment decision in early 2021.

Perth-based IBE said the Arrowsmith Plant would be built in an area with “abundant” renewable resources, and is projected to produce 25 tonnes of “zero carbon” hydrogen each day, thanks in part to what has been flagged as 85MW of onsite solar power and a supplementary 75MW of wind energy.

Is green hydrogen no longer a pipe dream for Australia?

Special Report: Australia must start preparing for a future green hydrogen-driven economy, as experts weigh in on the technology’s growing cost-effectiveness at scale.

While the prospect of creating 100% emission-free energy is still in its relative infancy in Australia, Woodside Petroleum CEO Peter Coleman believes Australia should look no further than the rapid expansion of markets for gas and LNG in Japan and Korea as critical examples for why Australia must start preparing a consolidated framework for a green hydrogen future.

This would allow the country to overcome present limitations around cost and transportation as the deployment of green hydrogen becomes a critical part of Australia’s future economy, he said.

“The technology is there, we know what the cost curves are like [and] what we need to do in the market … but you’ve got to manage the energy input with the production [and] distribute [it],” he said at an address at the Perth Convention Centre this week.

“It’s going to be ten years in the coming, and we need to start now.”

Green hydrogen is made using an electrolyser to separate hydrogen from water, resulting in a fuel source without any carbon emissions, so long as the electrolyser is also powered by renewables such as wind and solar.

Initial work begins on Australia’s first large-scale green-hydrogen plant

Xodus Group Ltd. has been selected by Infinite Green Energy (IGE, formerly Infinite Blue Energy) to carry out initial phase one work for Australia’s first large-scale 100% green hydrogen plant.

The $300-million Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project secured investment earlier this year. Located 320km north of Perth, it is projected to produce 23 tons of green hydrogen a day using solar and wind energy.

Xodus’ Perth team will use its previous international experience to deliver a preliminary environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental impact identification (ENVID) as well as ad hoc environmental support, including stakeholder consultation.

Xodus will also offer GIS support and manage permits and the flora and fauna surveys for the proposed site, undertaken by a third party.

Naomi Kerp, Principal Environmental Consultant at Xodus said: “IGE  is at the forefront of green energy in Australia and having worked with the senior team on previous projects, we are excited to be supporting them again with our energy experience and expertise. Projects like this can help establish Australia as a global leader in the production and supply of zero-emissions hydrogen fuel so it’s fantastic for us to be part of it from the very beginning.”

Xodus Bags Work for $300MM Green Hydrogen Plant

Xodus Group announced Tuesday that it has been selected by Infinite Green Energy (IGE, formerly Infinite Blue Energy) to carry out initial phase one work for Australia’s first large-scale 100 percent green hydrogen plant.

The $300 million Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project, which secured investment earlier this year, is located around 200 miles north of Perth, Australia, and is projected to produce 23 tons of hydrogen per day using solar and wind energy. The plant will commence production in 2025, according to IGE’s website.

Xodus said its Perth team will use its experience to deliver a preliminary environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental impact identification (ENVID), as well as ad hoc environmental support, including stakeholder consultation. The company noted that it will also offer GIS support and manage permits and the flora and fauna surveys for the proposed site.

Trickle Of Green Hydrogen Turns Into Flood Of Good News For Renewables

Growth in the green hydrogen sector is opening up new energy markets for wind and solar developers to exploit.

Wind and solar developers are eyeballing green hydrogen as a pathway for future growth, and it looks like they won’t have to depend on the transportation sector for sole support. That’s because hydrogen has many other uses, aside from being used to power fuel cell electric vehicles. Take the vehicles out of the equation and you still have the potential for rapid growth in demand for green hydrogen — and therefore in the demand for wind and solar farms, too.

Massive Aussie green hydrogen project moves step closer

Phase one work for the $300 million Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project will be carried out by global energy consultancy Xodus Group, which was selected this week by the project’s developer Infinite Green Energy (formerly Infinite Blue Energy).

Perth-based green hydrogen firm Infinite Green Energy secured investment for the Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project earlier this year, and this week announced that Xodus Group would carry out initial phase one work on the project.

The Arrowsmith Hydrogen Project is set to be located 320 kilometres north of Perth in Western Australia and is projected to produce 23 tonnes of green hydrogen each day, thanks in part to 65MW of onsite solar power and 132MW of supplementary wind energy.

Australia is already a leader in green hydrogen, but will we ever export it?

A new deep drive analysis of the emerging green hydrogen industry has found that without government support, the supply of zero emissions hydrogen may not be able to keep pace with surging demand, but transport costs are looming as a particularly tough barrier to establishing a thriving export market.

The findings have been published in a new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), which found that despite a rapid increase in green hydrogen globally it won’t be enough to meet the surging global demand for zero emissions hydrogen.

IEEFA found that Australia already ranks amongst the global leaders in a green hydrogen industry, with a number of projects advancing rapidly towards deployment, as well as a number of pilot projects already underway.

Green Hydrogen Firm Plans Pioneer IPO on Australian Exchange

Infinite Green Energy (formerly Infinite Blue Energy) plans an initial public offering that would make it the first zero-emissions hydrogen company to list on the Australian Stock Exchange.

The Perth-based group is looking to raise A$2 million ($1.45 million) in pre-IPO funding to aid the development of a hydrogen facility in Western Australia driven entirely by renewable power. The company plans to list on the ASX in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, ahead of first production from the plant in 2025.

Solar and wind power will be located on site, with IGE targeting output of  23 tons of hydrogen a day. Demand for ‘green’ hydrogen far outstrips supply, the company said in a presentation, with stage one of its Arrowsmith project only enough to satisfy 4% of its offtake orders.
