A proposed innovative project in New South Wales by Clara Energy, a company associated with former key political figures, aims to combine a 250 MW solar farm, a 12 MW battery system, and a 25 tonne/day hydrogen production facility. The project, named Project Rosedale, is designed to provide wholesale green hydrogen to the market, focusing on heavy vehicle fleets and hard-to-abate greenhouse gas emissions sectors. The development site in Mundarlo, near the Hume Highway, has raised concerns due to its water requirements for electrolysis, potential impact on vulnerable wildlife species, road infrastructure limitations, bushfire risk, and cost considerations. Despite these challenges, the project is set to enter the federal EPBC process. The initiative showcases the intersection of environmental sustainability, political involvement, and infrastructure development. If construction commences in 2025 as projected, the solar-hydrogen facility could become operational by 2026, offering a promising sustainable energy solution for the region.
