ENEOS' A$200 Million Green Hydrogen Plant in Brisbane: Boosting Australia's Hydrogen Sector
Key Ideas
  • ENEOS is investing A$200 million in a green hydrogen demonstration plant in Brisbane, Queensland, set to produce 680 kilograms of green hydrogen daily by 2026.
  • The project, in collaboration with Japanese and Australian companies, aims to create 100 jobs and contribute to Japan's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
  • Australia's growing green hydrogen sector, with over 100 projects under development, presents opportunities for export to countries like Japan and Korea looking to decarbonize heavy industries.
Japanese energy company ENEOS is making a significant investment of A$200 million in a green hydrogen demonstration plant in Brisbane, Queensland. The plant, expected to start production in mid-2027, will focus on producing 680 kilograms of green hydrogen per day, with a portion to be exported to Japan. The innovation lies in the use of methylcyclohexane (MCH) as the carrier for green hydrogen, allowing for easy storage and transportation. This project, anticipated to create 100 jobs, is a collaborative effort between ENEOS and various Japanese and Australian companies. The partnership also involves Japan's NEDO and the GI Fund, signaling a commitment to achieving carbon neutrality. Australia's green hydrogen sector is gaining momentum, evident from the numerous projects in development and operation. The country's proximity to hydrogen-importing nations like Japan and Korea positions it as a key player in the global hydrogen market, offering potential for export and collaboration in the transition to renewable energy sources.
