The world’s first carrier of liquefied hydrogen has arrived at Victoria’s Port of Hastings to pick up its inaugural cargo and transport it to Japan, marking a major milestone for the emerging industry.
The Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain pilot project, led by a consortium including Japan’s J-Power, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Shell and AGL, is demonstrating the conversion of Latrobe Valley brown coal into hydrogen gas.If it becomes commercial, the project would be paired with carbon capture and storage to trap emissions before they enter the atmosphere and bury them in depleted gas reservoirs in Bass Strait.
“The arrival of the liquefied hydrogen carrier today cements Australia’s position as a world leader in hydrogen.” “It’s still dirty energy with an attempt to bury the pollution problem,” Environment Victoria’s Greg Foyster said. “We should be using energy from the sun and wind to create genuinely green hydrogen, not using brown coal that produces more pollution.”
“Unique marine biodiversity must be protected from inappropriate industrial and development proposals ... now and into the future,” Save Westernport spokesperson Jane Carnegie said
