Western Australia's government has signed an initial agreement with South Korean power utility Kepco to develop a green hydrogen project in the state.
WGEH, a joint venture between Singapore-based InterContinental Energy, Australian renewables company CWP Global, and Aboriginal traditional owners Mirning Green Energy, plans to build 50,000MW of wind and solar generation capacity to power electrolysers for producing around 3.5mn t/yr of green hydrogen.
The project is expected to span 20 years and cover 15,000 km² near the South Australian state border. South Korea and Australia have already signed agreements to co-develop low-emissions technology and build hydrogen trade links.
