In Australia, PV Magazine reported that Australian renewables developer Edify Energy has been tapped by the federal government to lead the development of a hydrogen hub in the city of Townsville, in Queensland. The company obtained $46.3 million for this initiative, according to the report. Construction of the Townsville green hydrogen hub is expected to start next year and be complete in 2026, with commercial operations scheduled to start in 2027. The initial stage of the hub will support the production of 800 tons of green hydrogen per year, before ramping up to about 3,000 tons per annum for domestic supply with a view to scaling up production to 150,000 tons per year for export, the report added.
