A large renewable hydrogen production facility, called the Murchison House Station, near the coastal town of Kalbarri, has been unveiled for Western Australia, with plans for up to 5 GW of a combined solar and wind project. The project has been proposed by Hydrogen Renewables Australia (www.renewablehydrogen.com.au) — a renewable energy company combining wind and solar resources to produce 100% renewable H2 for export, primarily to Japan and South Korea. The strategic co-location of renewable sources aims to improve the cost-effectiveness of the production of electricity, due to the fact that, in that location, solar energy is available during the day, while strong wind energy is available mainly at night.
The project will be undertaken in three phases, including a demonstration phase for the production of transport fuels, the production of hydrogen fuels for natural gas blending in the Western Australian gas grid, followed by a large-scale expansion of production for export.
