Origin Energy, Port of Townsville ink hydrogen MoU
Origin Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Townsville in Queensland to collaborate on the potential expansion of the port, developing a liquefaction facility, new berth and associated infrastructure for its liquid hydrogen export project, the company said on April 14.
Origin is collaborating with Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) on a 300-MW export project that would produce 36,500 metric tons/year of green liquid hydrogen using renewable energy and sustainable water. First exports are envisaged in the mid-2020s.
“The three parties will now focus on work required to accommodate KHI’s semi-commercial scale liquid hydrogen carriers, currently under development, future project expansion opportunities, and potential for sharing of common infrastructure with other Port of Townsville users,” Origin said.
