Plug Power to Supply Electrolysers for Australian Green Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
- Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) partners with Plug Power for a 3 GW electrolyser supply for a large-scale green hydrogen to ammonia production facility in East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory.
- The project, with a $12.7 billion investment, aims to start commercial operations in 2029, producing 165,000 tons of green hydrogen and 912,500 tons of green ammonia annually.
- AGA's strategic location near southeast Asian markets and pre-existing infrastructure, along with support from global firms and government incentives, positions the project for success.
- The Federal Budget in Australia includes $8 billion in incentives over 10 years to support the production of green hydrogen, including a production tax incentive and funding for renewable hydrogen projects.
Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Plug Power to supply up to 3 GW of electrolysers for a green hydrogen and ammonia production project in the Northern Territory of Australia. The estimated $12.7 billion facility is planned to be developed in remote East Arnhem Land with commercial operations expected to start in 2029. The project has completed feasibility and pre-front-end engineering design studies, with the progressive delivery of the electrolyser supply set to begin in 2027. The facility aims to produce 165,000 tons of green hydrogen and 912,500 tons of green ammonia annually, leveraging renewables-based sources. AGA's strategic location near southeast Asian markets and pre-existing infrastructure, along with partnerships with global firms like Haldor Topsoe and Técnicas Reunidas, are expected to drive the project's success. The Australian Federal Budget's allocation of $8 billion in incentives over 10 years, including a production tax incentive and funding for renewable hydrogen projects, further supports AGA's green hydrogen initiative.
