Gladstone green hydrogen and ammonia partnership

This new multi-billion renewable energy complex is planning to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia at a proposed site in Gladstone, Queensland. Gladstone has been identified as one of seven clean hydrogen hubs across the country in Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy.

H2U has recently announced a number of planned strategic collaborations and green ammonia offtake with partners in the domestic and export markets, including:

• Orica Australia, the world’s largest provider of commercial explosives, operating the nearby Orica Yarwun Manufacturing Facility,
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI Group), one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defence.
• Korea East-West Power (Korea EWP), one of six key power generation companies in Korea and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Korea Electric Power Corporation or KEPCO, and the operator of the multi-GW Dangjin Power Generation complex.

Paul Kanters, Managing Director of Vopak Terminals Australia, points out the collaboration with H2U is a natural progression of Vopak’s participation in the development of a global green ammonia value chain: “This partnership fits well within the Vopak strategic goal to accelerate towards New Energies. We are excited to help shape a sustainable future by developing infrastructure solutions for new vital products, focusing on zero- and low-carbon hydrogen, ammonia, CO2, long duration energy storage and sustainable feedstocks.”

H2-Hub™ Gladstone is the largest green hydrogen and green ammonia development in Queensland, with 3 GW in planned electrolyser capacity and over 1.7 million tonnes per year of planned green ammonia production, representing one of the most advanced export projects on a global scale. H2U and Vopak will collaborate with existing partners to progress development of the project, focussing mainly on the Export Terminal of H2-Hub™ Gladstone.
