In Denmark, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) through its CI Energy Transition Fund I (ETF I), announced it has secured $512 million through the Australian Government’s Hydrogen Headstart program for its Murchison Green Hydrogen project in Western Australia. The Murchison Green Hydrogen project is set to produce approximately 1.8 million tons of green ammonia annually, primarily for export to Asian markets. “CIP is honored to receive this funding, which reinforces our shared vision with the Australian Government to establish a leading green hydrogen industry in Australia,” said Karsten Uhd Plauborg, Partner at CIP. “We see significant potential in green hydrogen and projects such as Murchison Green Hydrogen are key for countries and industries to take the next step within decarbonisation and achieving energy independence. We look forward to continuing to work with government, the Nanda People and community to progress the project and deliver value for the region.” Shohan Seneviratne, CEO of Murchison Green Hydrogen, said: “We are committed to contributing to Australia’s green hydrogen ambitions by creating local jobs, supporting skills development and sharing project benefits with local communities, including First Nations. We appreciate the support from the Australian Government, Minister Bowen, and ARENA and commend their leadership, vision and collaboration to make this project and the Australian hydrogen industry a reality.”
