Located in South Australia and Northern Territory
Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) has announced plans to develop two 10-gigawatt renewable hydrogen projects in Central Australia, leveraging the solar-rich locations of the Northern Territory and South Australia.
In a statement, CIC declared these projects would be the largest renewable hydrogen developments in Australia to date.
These projects will utilize CIC’s proprietary renewable hydrogen production modular technology, designed to operate entirely off-grid. This innovation reduces the need for government and community-funded supporting infrastructure.
“Each module contains solar panels, atmospheric water generators, electrolysers, and supporting infrastructure to produce hydrogen as an individual standalone unit. Crucially, the use of atmospheric water allows hydrogen to be produced anywhere solar radiation is abundant, opening up new locations in Central Australia as potential renewable fuel hubs,” CIC explained.
The first test modules are expected to start producing hydrogen in the Northern Territory or South Australia later this year.
