Hydrogen Park Adelaide

Hydrogen Park Adelaide (HyP Adelaide) is a proposed 60 MW renewable hydrogen production facility located at SA Water’s Bolivar wastewater treatment plant, that will aim to produce up to 700 TJ per year of renewable hydrogen. HyP Adelaide is proposed to be Australian Gas Networks’ next scaling milestone, building from the capability and knowledge from Hydrogen Park SA and Hydrogen Park Murray Valley.

HyP Adelaide intends to deliver hydrogen to Gepps Cross city gate via a new pipeline. The gas will then be blended at up to 20% by volume into Adelaide’s gas networks, which supplies over 350,000 customers.

HyP Adelaide would assist with decarbonisation of gas supply in Adelaide and enable large industrial customers to offset their gas usage by acquiring renewable gas certificates generated by reference to renewable hydrogen produced at the facility. Renewable hydrogen could also potentially be supplied to the Bolivar Power Station adjacent to the site, and blended into its gas supply at up to 25% by energy. The renewable hydrogen would assist by providing a lower carbon option to help firm South Australia’s electricity grid.

In addition, we are exploring other opportunities to supply oxygen and waste heat generated by the facility to industrial customers.
