A compressed hydrogen export supply chain is a technically and commercially feasible method for exporting green hydrogen from projects such as the HyEnergy® Project (HyEnergy) in Western Australia’s Gascoyne Region to nominated Asia Pacific markets.
Compression is already proven as a safe and reliable method of storing and transporting hydrogen upstream and downstream of marine shipping and can accelerate the development of greenfield hydrogen export projects with minimal technical barriers and smaller environmental footprints.
The Study analysed the compression and export of 200,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen from the proposed HyEnergy’s hydrogen production facility to Singapore, and includes: compression facilities, an outgoing pipeline to an offshore loading terminal, a fleet of Provaris’ proprietary compressed gaseous hydrogen (GH2) 26,000 m3 carriers (H2Neo) and an import terminal in Singapore.
The offshore loading terminal will utilise a Single Anchor Loading (SAL) system for loading of GH2 carriers. Modelling indicates the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) for compression, pipeline, loading and unloading terminal and fleet of carriers delivered to Singapore from the Project location is USD 2.48 per kg.
