Low-Emission Energy Future
Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy
Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy sets a vision for a clean, innovative, safe, and competitive hydrogen industry that benefits all Australians. It aims to position the industry as a major global player by 2030.
The National Hydrogen Strategy:
• Explores Australia’s clean hydrogen potential
• Considers future scenarios with wide-ranging growth possibilities
• Outlines an adaptive approach that equips Australia to scale up quickly
• Includes showcases from each state and territory
• Details nationally coordinated actions involving governments, industry, and communities
National Hydrogen Roadmap
Launched in 2018, The National Hydrogen Roadmap provides a comprehensive strategy for realising the opportunity for a hydrogen industry in Australia. The report has been used both nationally and internationally to inform investment across the value chain.
The report was also developed in parallel with, and used as the primary reference for the National Hydrogen Strategy led by Australia’s Chief Scientist and the Opportunities from Hydrogen Export report, produced by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. The techno-economic models and strategic analysis developed as part of the report continue to inform a number of projects and are still being used extensively by industry today.
Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA)
Valmec was contracted by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) to design and construct the onsite infrastructure for South Australia’s largest renewable hydrogen production facility, Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA) in the Tonsley Innovation District, Adelaide.
Supported by the South Australian Government with ARENA grant funding, HyP SA is aligned with the State’s vision to leverage its wind, sun, land, infrastructure, and skills to be a world-class renewable hydrogen supplier and to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. In late 2020, HyP SA first produced renewable hydrogen at the site using water and renewable electricity through a process known as electrolysis.
From 2021, hydrogen will be blended with natural gas and supplied to nearby homes via the existing gas network. Additionally, AGIG will also supply to the industry via tube trailers, and aim to supply the transport sector in the future.
HyP SA has received a number of accolades in recognition of its role in demonstrating the pathway to a cleaner energy future, including:
• 2020 Engineers Australia Australian Engineering Excellence Award winner
• 2020 South Australian Premiers Awards for Energy and Mining, Innovation and Collaboration’ category commendation
• 2020 SA Climate Leaders Awards, ‘Business and Industry’ category winner
• 2020 Australian Pipelines and Gas Association Environment Award winner
• 2022 Hydrogen Future Awards, ‘Hydrogen Project of the Year’ Category Winner
Valmec is a proud corporate member of the Australian Hydrogen Council (AHC).
The AHC is the peak body for the hydrogen industry, with members from across the hydrogen value chain. The AHC connects the emerging hydrogen industry and its stakeholders in building a secure, clean, and resilient energy future based on hydrogen.
