Presentation to Australian Hydrogen Forum

19th September 201919th September 2019

Hydrogen : export industry for AustraliaHydrogen : export industry for Australia

THE PROBLEM :

No viable means to sea freight

renewable energy.

Proposed solutions are too high

cost and need major new

infrastructure.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Australia’s competitive

advantage in solar, low cost

flat land and gas

infrastructure.

Major trading partners with

high cost renewable resources.

Growing market for renewable

energy globally.

Solution : renewable methaneSolution : renewable methane

• Methane is best hydrogen carrier

fungible with natural gas, therefore uses existing infrastructure

33% hydrogen when reformed, versus 17% for ammonia and 6% for MCH

no new infrastructure to build

cost and speed-to-market advantage

• Dispatchable renewable energy

hydrogen storage allows 24/7 methane production

balances the generation from variable solar energy

making 100% zero carbon energy viable

potential areas for renewable

methane projects

Natural Gas Pipeline Network

• Leverages Australia’s competitive advantages

world class solar resource

abundant low cost flat land

major gas pipeline system co-located with land and solar

world’s largest LNG industry

• No hydrogen infrastructure required

Industry engagement : APA GroupIndustry engagement : APA Group

• Own and operate 15,000 kilometres of natural gas

pipelines connect sources of supply and markets

across mainland Australia.

• Market cap $11billion

• In October 2018, APA entered into a joint

development agreement with Southern Green Gas

to develop renewable methane gas.

• The agreement is aiming to develop a

demonstration plant located at APA’s Wallumbilla

compressor station in south western Queensland.

Cost reduction : technology and manufactureCost reduction : technology and manufacture

Typical example of economies of manufacture:Battelle 2017 manufacturing study on fuel cell

stacks demonstrated 11 fold cost reduction from 100 to 50,000 units.
