The State Government of Queensland has committed AUD15 million (US$10.2 million) from the Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund to support Stanwell to progress the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for the CQ-H2 renewable hydrogen project in Queensland, Australia.
The CQ-H2 project is being developed by Stanwell and its partners Iwatani Corporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kansai Electric Power Company, Marubeni Corporation and APA Group in an effort to realize a large-scale renewable hydrogen supply chain from Central Queensland to Japan.
The project’s 12-month FEED study will further specify the technical, commercial and strategic elements of the project, allowing the Final Investment Decision to be finalized in late 2023.
