AUSTRALIA'S HYDROGEN $10.7 BLN
RENEW ECONOMY - 14 December 2021 - Designs for a $10.7 billion green hydrogen and ammonia facility in Western Australia’s Pilbara region have been finalised, with proponents Sun Brilliance now looking to secure investors and federal government backing to build the plant.
CEO of Sun Brilliance, Dr Dilawar Singh, said the project’s lead engineering contractor, TSK Spain, had signed off on the technical and financial models for the hydrogen and ammonia production facility it proposes to construct in the Western Australian town of Karratha.
“We are excited with the developments as there are so many hydrogen projects announced Australia-wide, but none of them has yet reached the design stage,” Dr Singh said.
“While others are still wondering about the production cost of Green Hydrogen or Ammonia, we have firmed our target at providing the cost of Green Hydrogen at below $2 per kg to fulfil the objective of the Federal Government.”
The project, which plans to produce up to 310,000 tonnes per annum of renewable hydrogen each year, in addition to 800,000 tonnes annually of ammonia, would be TSK’s first involvement in a venture outside of Spain.
The company has previously been involved in providing EPC services for projects involving more than 25,000MW of generation capacity.
