The Queensland government will partner with Japanese engineering firm IHI Corporation to complete a feasibility study into a green hydrogen production facility that could be co-located with the government owned Kogan Creek power station.
The Queensland government announced the partnership on Tuesday, which will see the government owned CS Energy collaborate with IHI Corporation to complete a study into establishing a green hydrogen facility at Kogan Creek, including the installation of an electrolyser along with a solar farm, battery and a hydrogen fuel cell.
CS Energy CEO Andrew Bills said the study would focus on the development of a hydrogen production facility that would draw electricity from an onsite and behind-the-meter solar farm, ensuring the project produced zero emissions hydrogen.
