Australia's Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) has established Tasmania's 'first' green hydrogen production and research facility at BOC Australia's Lutana site in Hobart. The facility is designed to support research and training for blue economy industries while providing commercial-scale hydrogen for various applications. It incorporates an innovative DC hydrogen microgrid and a large electrolyzer to produce renewable green hydrogen from sources like wind, solar, or ocean energy. The facility's daily output of 262 kilograms can power hydrogen fuel cell ferries, showcasing practical applications. The CEO of Blue Economy CRC expressed excitement about Tasmania's hydrogen production journey and the facility's role in answering crucial questions about hydrogen. Government officials, including the Minister for Energy and Renewables, emphasized the project's significance in achieving renewable electricity generation targets and fostering a sustainable green hydrogen sector. Industry leaders like the Managing Director of Linde South Pacific highlighted the importance of collaboration to drive innovation in renewable energy. The project, a result of partnerships with various entities, signifies a step forward in utilizing hydrogen as a green fuel and promoting decarbonization in the transport sector.
