Hydrogen finds a home in Beerburrum forest
Pure Hydrogen has bought an option over 21ha north-west of Brisbane where it plans an “emerald” hydrogen facility using biomass.
Pure Hydrogen moves ahead with SEQ project
The site, adjacent to the Beerburrum State Forest at Bracalba, would be able to service demand from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast with initial production of 500kgs a day and scaling up to 2500kg a day, starting in 2024.
The process would use woody biomass that would otherwise end up in landfill and the input would come from nearby logging waste.
The project would be a joint venture between with CAC-H2 and Pure Hydrogen expects its share of the total costs would be about $5 million.
Pure Hydrogen managing director Scott Brown said the site was ideal and fitted in with the strategy of establish east coast hydrogen hubs.
The company paid $125,000 for the site option and holds the right to transfer a further $1.875 million to complete the purchase.
Pure Hydrogen would fund the storage and load-out for hydrogen production separately.
