Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) has reached financial close on its Hydrogen Park Murray Valley development located in Victoria, Australia. On behalf of the Australian Government, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has announced an AUD36.1 million (US$24.1 million) commitment to AGIG for the 10 MW electrolyzer deployment in Wodonga, Victoria.
The Hydrogen Park Murray Valley project will produce renewable hydrogen to initially be blended into the local natural gas distribution network, owned by Australian Gas Networks, part of AGIG. The facility will be located next to North East Water’s Wodonga Wastewater Treatment Plant. Once complete, the project will be the largest renewable hydrogen facility on the east coast and equal largest in Australia.
With more than 40,000 connections to the local gas network, the project will supply hydrogen to an estimated 85,000 people spanning the border of Victoria and New South Wales. At a blend of 10 percent, the project is predicted to cut approximately 4,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.
The Victorian Government is supporting the project with AUD12.315 million (US$8.23 million) through the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), with additional financial backing from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
Construction on the project is due to commence in 2023, with the site operational by 2025.
