Green Hydrogen Production Reaches Commercial Scale in Australia
Australia has opened the world's largest green hydrogen production facility, using solar power to split water into hydrogen fuel. The project demonstrates that renewable hydrogen can compete economically with fossil alternatives.
Green hydrogen at scale
Commercial Scale
The Western Australia facility produces 100 tons of green hydrogen daily using 500 megawatts of solar power. Production costs have reached $3 per kilogram, approaching competitiveness with gray hydrogen.
Export Market
Japan and South Korea have signed long-term offtake agreements, viewing Australian green hydrogen as essential to their decarbonization strategies. Export facilities are under construction.
Applications
Green hydrogen enables decarbonization of steel, shipping, and aviation—sectors difficult to electrify directly. The Australian project proves commercial viability of this critical technology.
Australia's green hydrogen facility reaches commercial scale, producing 100 tons daily and making renewable hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels.
