Australia's biggest hydrogen production site on Wednesday officially started blending green hydrogen with natural gas to supply homes in a first for the country as it looks to switch toward cleaner energy.
The Hyp SA project, run by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), plans to blend about 5% green hydrogen into its gas distribution network going to more than 700 homes in a suburb of Adelaide in South Australia, the state using the highest proportion of renewable energy for power.
AGIG, which is owned by units of Hong Kong-based CK Group, is producing green hydrogen at an Adelaide site using solar and wind energy to power a 1.25 megawatt electrolyser to split water.
