In Australia, Geelong Manufacturing Council reported that its member GeelongPort and Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to undertake a joint feasibility study to construct a green hydrogen production facility in Geelong. The feasibility study will investigate the suitability and environmental benefits of a green hydrogen production facility at GeelongPort. It will focus on assessing the accelerated implementation of a large-scale production facility from green hydrogen and preferred derivatives, including ammonia, for export and domestic use. GeelongPort CEO Brett Winter said: “Fortescue is leading the charge on developing green hydrogen in Australia, and we are excited to partner with them on this potentially transformative study in Victoria,” he said. “A green hydrogen facility will support the development of new industries in Geelong, contribute to Victoria’s energy security, and create local jobs during both construction and operation.”
