$70 million locked-in for Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub at Bell Bay

On 18 January 2024 it was announced that the Australian and Tasmanian governments had signed a Grant Agreement regarding the Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub (TGHH).

This unlocked $70 million of Australian Government funding towards the $300 million TGHH project at Bell Bay.

The Tasmanian Government will lead the TGHH project and is supported by a consortium of the following partners:  TasPorts, TasNetworks, Tasmanian Irrigation, TasWater and the Bell Bay Advanced Manufacturing Zone.

The TGHH project will help build Tasmania’s hydrogen economy by providing open access infrastructure in the areas of electricity transmission, water and ports, and will include local market activation projects.

This announcement further supports the Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Action Plan’s vision to use Tasmania’s ‘existing and expandable renewable energy resources to become a leader in large-scale hydrogen production’.
