In Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Hydrogen Park Murray Valley project marks a significant step towards large-scale green hydrogen production. Led by the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), the $65 million project involves the installation of a 10 MW electrolyser set to produce 500 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually. The renewable hydrogen will be blended into the local gas network, aiming to serve commercial and industrial users, as well as 40,000 homes and businesses in Albury-Wodonga. The project, supported by a $32.1 million grant from Arena and additional backing from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the Victorian government, aims to establish a renewable gas industry in Australia. Despite concerns around safety risks and upgrade costs for existing gas infrastructure, AGIG is moving forward with the project, receiving positive feedback from federal energy minister Chris Bowen. Partnerships with companies like Mars Petcare for renewable gas certificates and collaborations with North-East Water for recycled water and oxygen supply demonstrate the project's commitment to sustainability and innovation. However, the project faces challenges in Victoria, where the state government's Gas Substitution Roadmap is actively phasing out gas usage, posing potential obstacles for the future of the gas industry in the region.
