Sydney Water's Sustainable Initiative: Powering Major Infrastructure with Hydrogen
Key Ideas
  • Sydney Water and construction partner, John Holland, conducted a successful 28-day trial using a hydrogen generator to power the construction of the Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre.
  • The AWRC facility in Western Sydney will provide recycled water, energy generation, and waste reuse, aiming to divert up to 30,000t of organic waste from landfill per year by 2030.
  • Hydrogen-powered equipment offers environmental benefits by reducing carbon emissions, noise pollution, and attracting partnerships aligned with Sydney Water's clean energy goals.
  • The move towards a circular economy and transitioning to hydrogen technology showcases Sydney Water's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the industry.
In Sydney, Australia, the construction of the $1.2 billion Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre (AWRC) by Sydney Water is being powered by a hydrogen generator. This initiative is part of an effort to reduce carbon emissions during construction. The AWRC, once operational, will serve the Western Sydney Aerotropolis Growth area with advanced water recycling and waste reuse services. By utilizing reverse osmosis technology, it aims to produce recycled water for various uses and process organic waste to create biogases and biosolids, contributing to a circular economy. The project also focuses on reducing construction emissions by using hydrogen generators, which offer benefits such as lower carbon emissions and noise pollution. Sydney Water's commitment to clean energy goals includes achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, making hydrogen technology a key element in their sustainability strategy.
