Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure Ltd. has signed an MOU with North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) and ITOCHU Corporation to study the potential for a green hydrogen production, storage and export facility at the Dalrymple Bay Terminal (DBT) at Hay Point in Queensland.
"The Dalrymple Bay Terminal at Hay Point is an established export port, known globally for its key role in supporting the global steel supply chain. The terminal is ideally placed to develop a green hydrogen facility due to its deep water port, the established Mackay industrial zone, the availability of land and water and position within one of Queensland’s Renewable Energy Zones," said DBI CEO Anthony Timbrell.
"The possible addition of new hydrogen-based products to complement our current export position would see DBT play an even bigger role in the export of key resources to satisfy the world’s demand for steel and low carbon energy sources, such as hydrogen. We look forward to engaging all stakeholders during this feasibility study stage."
It is expected that stage one of the feasibility studies will commence during 2021.
