CIP secures funding for Murchison Green Hydrogen project

CIP, through its CI Energy Transition Fund I (ETF I), has secured AUS$814 million through the Australian Government’s Hydrogen Headstart programme for its Murchison Green Hydrogen project in Western Australia.

The Murchison Green Hydrogen project is set to produce approximately 1.8 million tpy of green ammonia, primarily for export to Asian markets. Located 20 km north of Kalbarri and powered by 6 GW of onshore wind and solar generation, the project represents a significant milestone in advancing Australia’s green hydrogen economy.

“CIP is honoured to receive this funding,” said Karsten Uhd Plauborg, Partner at CIP. “We see significant potential in green hydrogen, and projects such as Murchison Green Hydrogen are key for countries and industries to take the next step within decarbonisation and achieve energy independence. We look forward to continuing to work with the government, and the Nanda People and community to progress the project and deliver value for the region.”

Shohan Seneviratne, CEO of Murchison Green Hydrogen, added, “We are committed to contributing to Australia’s green hydrogen ambitions by creating local jobs, supporting skills development, and sharing project benefits with local communities, including First Nations.”
