Pure Hydrogen has secured the option to acquire 21 hectares of land in order to establish emerald hydrogen manufacturing facilities alongside its joint venture (JV) partner CAC-H2.
The site is a 21-hectare lot, adjacent to the Beerburram State Forest, Queensland. The site was selected due to its strategic proximity to high-population South East Queensland regions, facilitating the supply of clean and affordable hydrogen to customers from the Sunshine Coast down to the Gold Coast.
Under the terms of the JV, CAC-H₂ will produce the hydrogen through the deployment of a technology process which converts Hydrogen from woody bio-mass that would otherwise end up as landfill. Pure Hydrogen will then take responsibility for distribution and sales.
Pure Hydrogen’s managing director Scott Brown said that the company is excited to have secured the site in Bracalba, due to its ideal location with its broader JV strategy to establish east coast hydrogen hubs.
“The JV plans at the site reaffirm the commitment of both Pure Hydrogen and CAC-H2 to establish as leaders in the fast-growing hydrogen industry towards Australia’s clean energy transition,” he said.
“We look forward to working with CAC-H2 and local regulators to expedite construction and development of the first plant by the end of CY2023 with it being operational from the start of 2024.”
