Countrywide Hydrogen Advances Tasmanian Green Projects, Selects Key Suppliers
Countrywide Hydrogen, a subsidiary of ReNu Energy, has made significant strides in its Tasmanian green hydrogen projects. The company has selected key suppliers and contractors, and finalised designs for production facilities in Brighton, Western Junction, and Burnie.
The projects aim to produce hydrogen for both road transport and natural gas sectors, contributing to emissions reduction in Tasmania. Each site is designed to initially refuel an equivalent fleet of 70 fuel cell electric trucks, with the capacity to expand in the future.
Wasco Australia has been chosen as the construction contractor for the projects. The company will collaborate with Fabrum, who has been selected to supply the refueller hub and hydrogen tube trailer storage systems for all three sites. Plug Power will provide two 5MW PEM electrolysers for Brighton and Western Junction, capable of producing up to 2,100kg/day of hydrogen each.
To facilitate future expansion, each electrolyser project is designed to accommodate a second 5MW electrolyser when demand exceeds two tonnes of hydrogen per day. Additionally, a connection flange to the TasGas network is planned at Western Junction and Brighton for hydrogen injection into the network.
Countrywide Hydrogen's projects in Tasmania are progressing with the selection of key suppliers and the completion of project definitions. The initial power source will be the state grid, with a transition to renewable sources planned for the future. These projects are set to significantly contribute to Tasmania's hydrogen economy.
