Another hydrogen project with gov backing


Queensland government-backed plans to build a massive 3GW hydrogen electrolyser plant in the state’s Gladstone region have taken a major step forward, with land secured for the facility in the industrial development zone of Aldoga.The project, a joint venture of government-owned generator Stanwell and Japan-based Iwatani Corporation, gained momentum late last year as a key part of a plan to position Queensland as a key exporter of green hydrogen.The export-scale facility, which is the largest of its type in the state and expected to create more than 5,000 jobs for regional Queenslanders, has been projected to generate $4.2 billion in hydrogen exports and $10 billio the state’s economy.Aldoga, where the plant is to be located, project is an industrial zone situated within the Gladstone State Development Area (SDA).It is also located close to the Labor Palaszczuk government’s proposed Central Queensland Renewable Energy Zone, which will provide ready access to the scale of renewable energy sources – probably more than 5,000MW – required to power the plant.
