Australia's Hydrogen Park Murray Valley: Leading the Charge Towards Renewable Gas Networks
Key Ideas
- Construction begins on the $65.46 million Hydrogen Park Murray Valley, aiming to produce 500 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually, reducing 3,000 tonnes of carbon emissions yearly.
- Renewable hydrogen will be blended with natural gas, offering 10% renewable gas to 40,000 homes and businesses in the Albury-Wodonga region through the existing gas network.
- GAMAA highlights the necessity of a hydrogen-ready gas network to support decarbonisation efforts, emphasizing the importance of policy frameworks for renewable gas networks and high-efficiency appliances.
- GAMAA members have been actively contributing to industry research and setting standards for 100% renewable gas appliances to ensure safety, reliability, and consumer confidence in Australian-made products.
The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association of Australia (GAMAA) celebrates the commencement of construction on the Hydrogen Park Murray Valley near Wodonga, Australia. Led by the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group and partners, the $65.46 million project supported by ARENA and the Victorian Department of Energy aims to produce 500 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually. This initiative will blend renewable hydrogen with natural gas, providing 10% renewable gas to 40,000 properties in the region and offsetting 3,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. GAMAA stresses the importance of a hydrogen-ready gas network to facilitate decarbonisation, advocating for policy frameworks supporting the shift towards renewable gas networks and Australian-made high-efficiency appliances. They emphasize the need for strong government collaboration to ensure the market readiness for 100% renewable gas networks and appliances. GAMAA members have actively contributed to industry research and set standards for 100% renewable gas appliances, ensuring safety and reliability. The project signifies a step towards a sustainable energy transition, with a focus on promoting Australian-made renewable energy solutions and creating job opportunities in regional areas.
