Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA)

Background

Hydrogen Park SA (HyP SA) is an innovative energy project to produce renewable hydrogen, for blending with natural gas via the local gas distribution network.

Valmec was contracted by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) to complete the engineering, procurement, and construction of the HyP SA project, located at the Tonsley Innovation District in Adelaide.

The facility includes a 1.25 MW Siemens electrolyser for hydrogen generation, hydrogen buffer storage, controls, and gas blending equipment.  This will enable the injection of hydrogen into the low-pressure gas network, supplying gas to nearby properties with up to 5% blended hydrogen as part of a five-year demonstration.  The facility also includes provisions to supply hydrogen to third parties via hydrogen tube trailers.
