Jemena and Solarig Collaborate to Boost Australia's Renewable Hydrogen Sector
Key Ideas
  • Jemena and Solarig signed an MOU to assess and supply renewable hydrogen to gas users in New South Wales, aiming to inject up to 35TJ of renewable hydrogen per year into the network.
  • The collaboration seeks to develop additional renewable hydrogen initiatives to strengthen Australia's market and position New South Wales as a prominent hub for renewable hydrogen.
  • Solarig will utilize 100% renewable electricity for hydrogen production, contributing to Australia's decarbonisation efforts in energy, transport, and industry.
  • The project in New South Wales marks one of the first commercial renewable hydrogen facilities proposed for connection to the Jemena network, showcasing a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions.
Jemena and Solarig have entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on assessing the feasibility and supply of zero-carbon renewable hydrogen to gas users in New South Wales. The focus is on developing hydrogen production and blending facilities to introduce up to 35TJ of renewable hydrogen annually into Jemena's gas distribution network. This partnership aims to pioneer renewable hydrogen initiatives, positioning New South Wales as a key hub for such technologies. Solarig, with its expertise in green hydrogen infrastructure, is set to utilize 100% renewable electricity for hydrogen generation. Both parties emphasize the importance of diversified renewable energy sources to achieve Australia's emission reduction targets. By blending renewable hydrogen into the gas network, homes, businesses, and industrial customers downstream will benefit. The project signifies a significant leap towards decarbonization, showcasing the potential for sustainable energy solutions in Australia.
