Tasmania’s first

Green Hydrogen

production & research facility

The Hydrogen Production & Research Facility is Tasmania’s first green hydrogen production facility supporting research & training for blue economy industries whilst providing commercial-scale hydrogen for industry & transport applications.

With an Exclusive Economic Zone of 10 million km², Australia has enormous potential for deploying offshore renewable energy converter technologies for electricity generation, green hydrogen production, offshore industries and hydrogen-powered vessels.

The Blue Economy CRCs Hydrogen Production & Research Facility has been developed to:

  • Support the decarbonisation of marine and maritime industries through focused research and development

  • Demonstrate the benefits of hydrogen for storage and use in broader industry and transport sectors, both onshore and offshore

  • Build a skilled workforce capable of innovating, implementing and maintaining these new systems across the hydrogen value chain

  • Grow social license and community acceptance

THE ROLE OF HYDROGEN IN DECARBONISING THE BLUE ECONOMY

Hydrogen is an effective way to store and export clean energy to blue economy industries. It can provide very high reliability of electricity supply within an islanded microgrid, can displace diesel and other fossil fuels in aquaculture and vessels and finally, the oxygen produced along with hydrogen provides an added benefit to aquaculture.

  • 1
    Decarbonisation of the marine and maritime sectors by displacing or replacing diesel fuels.
  • 2
    Alternate, reliable power systems for aquaculture and transport.
  • 3
    Oxygen benefits in offshore fish farming.
  • 4
    Creating sustainable offshore systems for island communities or remote areas like Antarctica

The Hydrogen Production & Research Facility’s research and training activities will also demonstrate the benefits of hydrogen for storage and use in broader industry and transport sectors.
