<p>Australia is <a href="https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Renewable-Energy/Australia-Looks-To-Take-The-Lead-In-The-Hydrogen-Boom.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">developing</a> a 15 GW project that will generate hydrogen for export. As part of the project, a <a href="https://hydrogenrenewablesaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Factsheet-Project-FINAL-v3.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">5 GW</a> renewable hydrogen export operation is being developed in Western Australia in the town of Kalbarri. The $20 billion project could become the world’s largest wind-solar hybrid with the vast amounts of renewable energy generated used to produce hydrogen for export. Considering the challenges of transporting hydrogen, the first phase of the Kalbarri project looks to blend the hydrogen with natural gas to lower its carbon footprint.</p>
