Provaris Energy has completed its HyEnergy feasibility study and delivered the document for final review to the Western Australia Government and project partners Province Resources and Total Eren.
The scope of the study included the integration of a proposed 8GW green hydrogen production facility in the state’s Gascoyne region with an onshore compression facility and offshore mooring and loading system, as well as the operation of a fleet of Provaris’ H2Neo carriers for marine transport to nominated markets.
Renewable energy for the project will be generated via wind and solar, with the proposed compression facility to be co-located with the hydrogen production hub, approximately 6 km from the Gascoyne coastline.
The study was supported by a team of consultants from companies including WSP, Oropesa, Paaras Marine Solutions and Turner & Townsend.
In mid-2021, Provaris entered into an agreement with Province and Total Eren to support a technical and commercial feasibility study on the export of green hydrogen using compressed shipping from the Gascoyne to the Asia-Pacific.
The HyEnergy project is supported with a renewable hydrogen fund under the WA Government’s Renewable Hydrogen Strategy.
