ATCO, AGIG receive green

hydrogen funding

ATCO and Australian Gas Infrastructure
Group’s (AGIG) plans for a commercial scale,
green hydrogen production facility are set
to become a reality with the announcement
today that their Clean Energy Innovation
Park (CEIP) project has received $28.7M
in funding from the Australian Renewable
Energy Agency.
The CEIP is intended to establish
Australia’s first commercial scale green
hydrogen supply chain, including a 10MW
electrolyser and plant capable of producing
up to 4.0 tonnes of hydrogen per day, along
with storage and delivery to the gas network
injection points.
ATCO Australia Managing Director and
Chief Operating Officer Patrick Creaghan
said this was an exciting step for ATCO, and
for Western Australia’s progress towards
achieving its hydrogen goals.
