Project description
Over the next few years, the project partners will review the results from the pilot phase and continue to engage with local communities, regulators and potential customers for HESC hydrogen, in readiness to build and operate a commercial-scale project.
Activities that will be undertaken include:
- Continuing to test and demonstrate maritime transport of liquid hydrogen with the Suiso Frontier making further trips between Australia and Japan
- Preparing for regulatory approval processes
- Investigating economics of the commercial-scale project and its business model
- Engaging potential ‘off-takers’ in Australia and Japan
- Improving technologies to reduce costs and carbon intensity across the supply chain. This includes further development of the ortho-para conversion catalyst for creating liquid hydrogen in partnership with CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency.
This description was prepared in consultation with the project.
