Tasmania has unveiled its first green hydrogen production facility and microgrid in Hobart, developed by the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (BECRC). The innovative DC hydrogen microgrid incorporates one of Australia's largest electrolysers and produces renewable, green hydrogen. Situated at BOC Australia in Lutana, Hobart, the facility aims to advance research and training for blue economy industries while supplying commercial-scale hydrogen for various applications. Financed by Macquarie Bank and operated by BOC, the project has received praise from Tasmania's Minister for Energy and Renewables, Nick Duigan, who sees it as a crucial step towards achieving the state's renewable energy goals. Dr. John Whittington, CEO of BECRC, emphasized the importance of this launch in advancing clean energy solutions and understanding the potential of hydrogen in supporting Australia's blue economy. The collaborative efforts among industry, research, and government highlight the commitment to innovation and sustainability in Tasmania's energy sector, positioning the state as a key player in the green hydrogen market.
