In Australia, Blue Economy reported that green hydrogen will be produced for the first time in Tasmania, following the launch of the Blue Economy CRC’s hydrogen production and research facility. The new facility will provide commercial-scale hydrogen for industry and transport applications. The facility features an innovative DC hydrogen microgrid, controlling one of Australia’s largest electrolysers, which generates 100% renewable, green hydrogen – an alternate, reliable energy supply that could replace carbon-intensive fossil fuels and diesel. The facility will produce 262kg per day, representing the hydrogen required to run two 22m hydrogen fuel cell powered passenger ferries that can carry 75 people for a day, said Blue Hydrogen. Blue Economy CRC CEO John Whittington said: “The production of green hydrogen begins at commercial scale, but what we’re really looking to produce is answers to some of our most important questions around hydrogen and its uses.”
