Albanese Government to power Australian industry with reliable renewables, as WA hydrogen project receives green light | Ministers

Australia has announced the Murchison Green Hydrogen Project in Western Australia, developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. The project, awarded up to $814 million in production incentives, will use solar and wind power to produce green hydrogen and convert it to green ammonia for export. It is expected to create 3,600 construction jobs and 600 ongoing roles. The project aims to produce 900,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, nearly half of Australia’s current ammonia production from fossil fuels. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) will deliver the funding over 10 years to accelerate development.
