ATCO Australia has made significant progress in the integration of renewable hydrogen into its gas network by achieving a milestone of blending up to 10% solar-powered electrolyser-made hydrogen to 3,000 homes as part of the Hydrogen Community Blending Project. The project, with a budget of $2.6 million, builds on successful tests from the Clean Energy Innovation Hub located in Jandakot. By utilizing a combination of solar, battery, and hydrogen technologies, the company aims to demonstrate the viability of renewable hydrogen in the energy sector. The project features a Hydrogen Microgrid funded partly by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, showcasing the use of solar panels and a proton exchange membrane electrolyser system to produce green hydrogen. Excess energy is stored in a battery system and the hydrogen is stored for use as a blended fuel or backup power. ATCO Australia's Executive General Manager Russell Godsall highlights the seamless integration of hydrogen into existing gas networks with no impact on residential appliances. The company is also actively promoting the use of 100% hydrogen appliances to showcase the potential of renewable hydrogen in the energy transition. Chief Executive Officer John Ivulich emphasizes the importance of regulatory support in driving the adoption of clean fuels like hydrogen, biomethane, and renewable synthetic methane. The article underscores the confidence of Australia's Energy Ministers in clean fuels and the potential for these gases to contribute to emissions reduction in the energy sector.
