BP mulls green hydrogen in Australia

Energy major BP Australia has been awarded A$1.71-million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to assess the feasibility of building a renewable hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Geraldton, Western Australia.

BP is undertaking a A$4.42-million feasibility study to investigate producing renewable hydrogen using electrolysis. Under the study, BP would use grid-connected power and procure renewable electricity through a power purchase agreement (PPA).
