Marubeni will trial exports from South Australia to Indonesia from end of this year
Australia to export green hydrogen to Indonesia by end-2023
Marubeni’s A$12.5mn pilot project in South Australia, part-funded by Japanese government, will begin operations this August
A A$12.5mn ($8.47mn) pilot project producing green hydrogen in South Australia is due to start operations by August and export first hydrogen to Indonesia by the end of the year. The project, based in Bolivar to the north of Adelaide, was launched by Marubeni at the beginning of last year and began construction in February. It is part-funded by Japan’s Ministry of Environment via its financing programme for Joint Crediting Mechanism projects. The scheme unlocks Japanese funding for projects that aim to reduce emissions in partner countries such as Indonesia. The project will include a 150kW proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) electrolyser coupled with a 5MW battery energy storage system, using po
