FFI and AGL eye green hydrogen in Hunter Valley
Firms will carry out study to replace two ageing coal-fired power plants with green hydrogen production facility
Green energy company Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) has signed a memorandum of understanding with utility AGL Energy to undertake a feasibility study to develop a green hydrogen facility in Australia’s Hunter Valley. The study will evaluate the possibility of repurposing two coal-fired power stations to generate the fuel. The plants would be replaced with electrolysers capable of generating 30,000t/yr of green hydrogen—and eventually more as they are scaled up to gigawatt-size. “Repurposing existing fossil fuel infrastructure with forward-looking companies like AGL to create green hydrogen to help power the world is the solution we have been looking for,” says FFI chair Andrew Forrest.
