Japanese energy giant ENEOS has officially opened its green hydrogen demonstration plant in Queensland.
ENEOS will produce the green hydrogen using its patented electrolysis technology (Direct MCH), powered from renewable energy generated by an onsite 250 kW solar system.
The hydrogen will be produced in the form of methylcyclohexane (MCH), so it can be stored and transported as a liquid before being refined back to hydrogen in Japan.
It is the first project supported by the Japanese government’s $24-billion Green Innovation Fund, which aims to help Japan achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The company is also investigating other sites in Queensland for future stages of its development.
