Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Project

The Australian Government is providing funding to support the pre-commercialisation phase of the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain project. The project aims to transport liquid hydrogen produced through the gasification of brown coal in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley to Japan. The outcomes of the project’s pre-commercialisation phase will add to the knowledge obtained from its pilot phase, which concluded on 30 June 2022, and will inform the development of a commercial-scale project.

The output of this project will be a pilot project to demonstrate the feasibility of a hydrogen energy supply chain based on gasification of brown coal to produce liquid hydrogen for use in Japan.
