Keppel Corp Ltd has joined an up-to-2.5-GW Central Queensland hydrogen (CQ-H2) project consortium to produce renewable hydrogen in Australia and inked a deal to facilitate a portion of the future supply for a local green ammonia facility.
The CQ-H2 is developing a production site and other related infrastructure to supply green hydrogen to the local market and export to Japan and Singapore.
The partnership comprises Queensland government-owned Stanwell Corp, Iwatani Corp, Kansai Electric Power, and Marubeni Corp.
The proposed site is due to start producing green hydrogen on a commercial scale in 2028. With a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study already initiated, a final investment decision (FID) on the project is due to be taken in late 2024.
Additionally, the Singapore-based conglomerateKeppel has signed an MOU with Incitec Pivot Ltd to explore the development of an industrial-scale green ammonia production facility in Gladstone, Queensland, along with other potential partners.
The CQ-H2 project will provide a reliable source of green hydrogen that will be used in the ammonia production process. The facility’s output of around 850,000 tonnes per year will be supplied to domestic and overseas markets.
According to Cindy Lim, CEO of Keppel’s Infrastructure Division, they are redoubling their efforts in making green hydrogen and ammonia reliable and commercially viable energy sources through its involvement in the CQ-H2 consortium, and our partnership with Incitec Pivot.
