Queensland Takes First Step in Creating Australia-Japan Hydrogen Supply Chain
The Queensland government has taken a step closer to establishing a hydrogen export hub in the state’s north with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Port of Townsville and Origin Australia.
The deal, signed on April 14, promises the development of a hydrogen liquefaction facility and the expansion of the port to facilitate the export of hydrogen using specially designed liquid hydrogen carriers.
Origin Energy stated in a media release that, once developed, an estimated 36,500 tonnes of hydrogen every year will be shipped in a joint export project between Origin and Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
