French renewables giant Total Eren continues to advance its green hydrogen ambitions in Australia, teaming with the Northern Territory government to develop a massive renewable hydrogen production facility powered by more than 2 GW of solar PV generation in the far north.
The Northern Territory government announced on Monday it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with French renewables developer Total Eren to progress plans for a new gigawatt-scale green hydrogen production facility in Darwin.
The proposed Darwin H2 Hub, to be built on a 4,000-hectare site near the Territory capital, would include more than 2 GW of solar PV providing energy for a 1 GW electrolyser to produce more than 80,000 tonnes of hydrogen per annum.
NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles said the Darwin H2 Hub would target both the domestic and international markets, helping the territory to stake a claim in Australia’s rapidly growing green hydrogen industry.
“With our abundant solar resources and our strategic location to support exports into the Indo-Pacific, the production of green hydrogen is a key opportunity for the territory to address the growing demand for this green energy globally,” she said.
“The signing of this MoU will help position the territory as the next Australian home of renewable hydrogen production.”
Total Eren Australia’s managing director Kam Ho said the partnership reinforced the company’s commitments to invest in Australia and low carbon energy sources.
“Our plan is to accelerate the development of the project to supply green hydrogen and also the opportunity to provide renewable energy which supports the decarbonisation plans for energy-intensive industries in the territory,” he said. pv magazine - link - David Carroll - link - more like this (Australia) - link - more like this (green H2) - link - more like this (France) - link
