Technip Energies has been selected by Infinite Green Energy to perform a front-end engineering design for its MEG-HP1 Early Production Facility, a 10-MW green H₂ production project in Northam, Western Australia.

MEG-HP1 Early Production Facility will be powered by the Northam Solar Farm, located approximately 100 kilometers east of Perth, to be acquired by Infinite Green Energy. The 10-MW Northam Solar Farm consists of 33,600 solar panels and is constructed over 25 hectares (around 0.25 km²). The Northam Solar Farm is already connected to the Southwest Interconnected System with additional land secured for potential expansion.

The 10-MW green H₂ production facility will be near the solar farm and will produce up to 4.3 tpd. H₂ production offtake is focused on the heavy transport sector, targeting back-to-base logistics operators and local governments with in-depot refueling.

Gareth Philp, Australia Managing Director of Technip Energies, said, “We are proud to have been selected as an execution partner by Infinite Green Energy Ltd for the MEG-HP1 Early Production Facility project. We are committed to leveraging our local footprint and our integration and design expertise to contribute to building the future of green H₂ in Australia.”

Stephen Gauld, CEO and founder of Green Infinite Energy, said, “This is an important milestone for Infinite Green Energy, and we’re pleased to be partnering with Technip Energies on front end engineering and design. Our MEG-HP1 Early Production facility at Northam is leading the transition to a net zero economy. With first gas expected in 2024, Infinite Green Energy is on track to delivering some of the first commercial-scale green H₂ in WA.”
