Western Australia launches $60m funding round for hydrogen and CCUS | Hydrogen

The government of Western Australia will provide up to AU$60m in funding for various clean energy and decarbonisation projects as part of the federal government’s New Energies Industries Funding Stream. The stream will be made available as part of the government’s Investment Attraction Fund. Projects that are set to benefit from the funding include those focused on critical minerals processing, renewable hydrogen, green iron and steel, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage. The first round of the programme allocated $60m to five projects in 2024. Successful proposals included decarbonising steel manufacturing, converting critical minerals into high-value battery precursors, and carbon capture and storage ventures. “The IAF has been able to support dozens of projects over the past three years and has provided $216.4m in funding, creating local jobs and helping diversify WA’s economy,” said Roger… Read More »Western Australia launches $60m funding round for hydrogen and CCUS | Hydrogen

Australia green iron project makes electrolysers pick | Technology Gas News

Australia’s Progressive Green Solutions (PGS) has selected Thyssenkrupp Nucera as its preferred supplier of electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen at the company’s Mid-West Green Iron project. This project – which is subject to final investment decision – would produce 7 million tonnes of green iron pellets a year and convert half to make 2.5 million tonnes of green hot briquetted iron (HBI) in Western Australia’s Mid-West region, near the city of Geraldton. HBI is a compressed form of direct reduced iron , which will be exported as a value-added product from Western Australia. The plant is to be powered by renewable energy, consuming green hydrogen while using local magnetite iron ore. This will help to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90 %, compared with traditional steel production. … to continue reading this article… Read More »Australia green iron project makes electrolysers pick | Technology Gas News
