Expression of Interest – Achieving 10% Renewable Hydrogen in Australian Gas Networks

In end of March 2020, Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), Jemena Gas Networks (JGN), AusNet Services (AusNet), and EvoEnergy have come together with their Expression of Interest to work with organisations in the international hydrogen supply chain on the feasibility, approach and cost of achieving 10% by volume renewable hydrogen across their gas networks.

“Through this Expression of Interest process, suppliers of key inputs to the international hydrogen supply chain are invited to comment on the feasibility, approach and cost of achieving 10% renewable hydrogen by volume across gas networks in the eastern and southern states of Australia,” Mr Wilson said.

“We believe this objective is achievable by 2030, and that a systematic approach will deliver economies of scale and cost reductions to benefit our customers,” he said.

With their customers' needs in mind, these companies believe the gas sector shares a common vision for a low carbon future enabled by renewable hydrogen, as set out in Gas Vision 2050 released in mid-2017. Gas Vision 2050 sets the trajectory for decarbonising gas supply into the future through hydrogen and other renewable sources.
