In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that the construction of the Pilbara Hydrogen Hub at Port Hedland on the north coast of Western Australia (WA) is progressing with road and intersection upgrades to support the import of wind turbine and renewable energy components. The report noted that the road and intersection work at Lumsden Point will support the import of wind turbine and renewable energy components into the Pilbara, as well as the export of battery metals such as lithium and copper concentrates. The Pilbara Hydrogen Hub is expected to become operational in mid-2028, with a planned pipeline enabling hydrogen production of around 492,000 tons per year. The Australian Government has committed $565 million in grant funding to support common user port upgrades at Port Hedland and Dampier in the Pilbara. Western Australian Premier, Roger Cook, said: “The Pilbara is a globally recognized resources hub and demand for renewable energy will only become stronger into the future. By building our hydrogen production capability, we are investing in the future of the Pilbara.”
