Australia's largest hydrogen electrolyser manufacturing facility opens in central Queensland

The Queensland Conservation Council says the facility is another step in Queensland's transition from coal and gas.The Gladstone Electrolyser Facility will be the first manufacturing facility in Australia to build electrolysers at a commercial scale and cements the industrial city as Australia's hydrogen capital.Fortescue Energy chief executive Mark Hutchinson said as the world looked to decarbonise and the demand for green hydrogen grew so too would the demand for electrolysers.

The next phase — a 50-megawatt green hydrogen production facility called PEM50 — received approval today from Queensland's Coordinator-General. The initial production capacity of the manufacturing centre is 2 gigawatts per annum, but at full running capacity the facility will be able to produce more than 200,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year.
