Energy Estate and Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate and accelerate the delivery of green hydrogen, e-fuels and e-chemicals across Energy Estate’s portfolio of over 30 GW of large-scale decarbonisation projects.

Integrating green hydrogen production and storage will help balance intermittent renewable energy supplies and enable the delivery of green hydrogen on a 24/7 basis to ammonia, e-fuel and other hydrogen derivative production facilities. As part of the collaboration, the parties will work together to encourage new investment into the green hydrogen sector in New South Wales (NSW) and other states in Australia.

The first integrated green hydrogen and storage project to be advanced under this collaboration is the Hunter Hydrogen Network (H2N) developed by Energy Estate and its partner Eurus Energy. H2N is a proposed 1.6 GW hydrogen production project in the Hunter Valley paired with a shared hydrogen pipeline to the Port of Newcastle and other strategic locations in the Hunter.

“Strategically optimised hydrogen production and storage is the next level of sophistication for the delivery of lowest cost hydrogen. Our vision is to create hydrogen corridors to produce, store and deliver hydrogen in the most cost effective and efficient way to foster local and export markets for green hydrogen and derivative products.” said Simon Currie, Co-founder of Energy Estate.

“We are delighted to deepen our collaboration with an Australian owned business with a storage technology critical to the advancement of the hydrogen economy. Our collaboration with Abergeldie will be a critical factor in delivery of our portfolio of green hydrogen projects” said Simone O'Sullivan, Director of decarbonisation at Energy Estate.

“Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure is looking forward to collaborating with Energy Estate on green hydrogen projects. Abergeldie established Ardent Underground in 2019 to repurpose our world leading blind boring technology so as develop safe, cost-effective, large scale and replicable hydrogen storage” said Mick Boyle, Abergeldie Founder and Executive Chairman.

David Bentley, General Manager, Ardent Underground added: “We have developed a unique hydrogen storage technology and are fully supported by Abergeldie’s proven track record of delivering complex infrastructure. Locally, we are already seeing significant opportunities for the optimisation of large-scale renewable hydrogen production and storage projects. Ardent Underground is looking forward to being part of the Energy Estate and Abergeldie collaboration to accelerate the transition to green hydrogen.”
