Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub at Bell Bay Enters Next Stage
Key Ideas
  • The Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub at Bell Bay is seeking potential industry partners through a Registrations of Interest process, marking a significant milestone in the state's renewable energy journey.
  • The Hub has received grant funding of up to $70 million from the Commonwealth under the Regional Hydrogen Hubs program, with additional support from the Tasmanian 2024-25 State Budget.
  • Expected to generate around 740 direct and indirect jobs, the Hub will contribute to regional economic development and the state's transition to a low-emission economy, showcasing Tasmania as a renewable energy leader.
  • The Hub aims to produce 45,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually, sufficient to fuel over 2,200 heavy vehicles for a year, emphasizing the importance of sustainable energy sources in the transportation sector.
The Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub at Bell Bay has advanced to the next stage with the initiation of a Registrations of Interest process to identify potential industry partners. Minister for Energy and Renewables, Nick Duigan, highlighted this as a crucial step in Tasmania's renewable energy development. The Hub, backed by grant funding of up to $70 million from the Commonwealth and support from the Tasmanian 2024-25 State Budget, aims to leverage Tasmania's competitive advantages to attract investment, drive economic growth, and support the state's shift towards renewable energy. With the potential to create 740 jobs and produce 45,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually, the Hub is poised to be a significant contributor to regional development and sustainability. The project's emphasis on utilizing renewable energy sources for hydrogen production aligns with Tasmania's goal to become a leading renewable energy state. The Registrations of Interest process, open until February 14, 2025, invites a wide range of participants to engage in this transformative initiative, highlighting the global interest in renewable hydrogen and its potential for driving a sustainable future.
