HYDROGEN INDUSTRY — H2PERTH — KWINANA
878. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the Minister for Hydrogen
Industry:
I refer to the minister's
response to my question without notice on Tuesday, 26 October, in which she
said that the H2Perth project will ''build up over the next five to six years
to around three gigawatts of renewable energy that it will take off the grid''.
(1) When H2Perth
reaches three gigawatts of renewable energy, what percentage of hydrogen
produced by this facility will be green energy?
(2) Will the three gigawatts of renewable
energy be mandated by the government?
(3) If yes to (2), what date must
this mandated target be reached by?

I thank the member for the
question.
(1)–(3) Woodside anticipates that as the project scales up
to 3.25 gigawatts, it is expected to produce 1 500 tonnes of hydrogen, of which 1 300 tonnes, or 87 per
cent, will be produced from electrolysis powered by renewable energy. Woodside's option to lease is subject
to all necessary approvals, including environmental approvals. This is the
mechanism to hold Woodside accountable for its plans for managing and reducing
emissions.
