To inform the development of a Guarantee of Origin scheme for hydrogen, the Clean Energy Regulator is undertaking trials. Active hydrogen production projects and well-advanced projects who have signed a participation agreement will be able to participate in the GO trials.

The trials are running collaboratively with the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, who are responsible for wider consultation. The scheme will be co-designed with industry and key stakeholders.

Companies signed up to participate in the trials represent a range of hydrogen related products from across the entire production supply chain.

Current trial projects

Project name	Company	Production technology	State	Description
Hydrogen Park South Australia	AGIG	Electrolysis	SA	This project involves the blending of renewable hydrogen with natural gas for supply to more than 700 properties in the suburb of Mitchell Park and to supply 100% hydrogen to industry via tube trailers. The project also aims to supply hydrogen for transport in the future. More information about Hydrogen Park South Australia.
Hydrogen Park Gladstone	AGIG	Electrolysis	QLD	This project involves the blending of renewable hydrogen with natural gas at volumes of up to 10 per cent for supply into the city of Gladstones gas network (with the project also aiming to supply hydrogen for transportation uses in the future). More information about Hydrogen Park Gladstone.
Hydrogen Park Murray Valley	AGIG/ENGIE	Electrolysis	VIC	Hydrogen Park Murray Valley would blend renewable hydrogen with natural gas at volumes of up to 10 per cent into the gas network of the twin cities of Albury (NSW) and Wodonga (Victoria). More information about Hydrogen Park Murray Valley.
Clean Energy Innovation Park	AGIG/ ATCO	Electrolysis	WA	The project is seeking to develop a commercial-scale renewable hydrogen production facility in Western Australia with a focus on gas blending. More information about Clean Energy Innovation Park.
Blue Economy CRC	Blue Economy CRC/ Pitt & Sherry/ BOC	Electrolysis	TAS	The aim of the CRC is to develop sustainable offshore industries to increase seafood and offshore renewable energy production including through the use of whole-of-supply-chain hydrogen technologies operating in an offshore microgrid system. More information about Blue Economy CRC.
Renewable Hydrogen Production and Refuelling Project	BOC	Electrolysis	QLD	This project will supply renewable hydrogen to BOCs existing customer base in Queensland as well as supplying a hydrogen refuelling station hosted in Brisbane. Phase 1 of this mobility trial is for the refuelling of QFleet vehicles with further vehicles and 350-bar trucks and buses to be added in Phase 2. More information about Renewable Hydrogen Production and Refuelling Project.
Renewable Hydrogen Production and Refuelling Project	BOC	Steam Methane Reforming	VIC	BOC presently produces hydrogen at its Altona facility in Melbourne, Victoria, by means of steam methane reforming (SMR) using natural gas as feedstock into the process
Geraldton Export-Scale Renewable Investment	BP	Electrolysis	WA	A detailed evaluation of renewable demonstration and commercial-scale ammonia production plants located in the Geraldton/Oakajee area of Western Australia using renewable hydrogen as feedstock rather than natural gas has been undertaken. More information about Geraldton Export-Scale Renewable Investment.
H2Kwinana	BP/ Macquarie Capital	Electrolysis	WA	The project proponents are investigating the establishment of a renewables-based hydrogen hub at bp Australias Kwinana site in Western Australia. More information about H2Kwinana.
Clean Energy Innovation Hub	ATCO	Electrolysis	WA	The Perth-located Clean Energy Innovation Hub incorporates the production storage and use of hydrogen in micro-grid system applications including blending with natural gas and in power use. More information about Clean Energy Innovation Hub.
Christmas Creek Renewable Hydrogen Mobility Project	FFI/FMG	Electrolysis	WA	The Fortescue Metals Group is to replace its existing fleet of diesel coaches at its Christmas Creek iron ore mine in the Pilbara region with hydrogen fuel-cell powered coaches. More information about Christmas Creek Renewable Hydrogen Mobility Project.
Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Pilot Project	Hydrogen Engineering Australia on behalf of a consortium	Coal gasification	VIC	This purpose of this pilot project located in the Latrobe Valley is to demonstrate an integrated hydrogen supply chain encompassing production storage and transportation in delivering liquefied hydrogen to Japan. More information about Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Pilot Project.
Singapore Green Energy Supply Chain	Incitec Pivot/ Keppel New Energy/ Temasek	Electrolysis	NSW	Project under development: produce ammonia for export to Singapore expected to be operational by 2026.
Dyno Nobel Renewable Hydrogen Project	Incitec Pivot	Electrolysis	QLD	A feasibility study has been undertaken to assess the potential for using renewable hydrogen to increase ammonia production at Dyno Nobels existing Moranbah facility and replace purchased (natural-gas based) ammonia. More information about Dyno Nobel Renewable Hydrogen Project.
Western Sydney Green Gas Project	Jemena Origin Coregas	Electrolysis	NSW	The project involves a trial power-to-gas facility to transform (surplus) renewable electrical energy into hydrogen gas for use in blending in a gas network storage power generation and potentially mobility and industrial applications. More information about Western Sydney Green Gas Project.
Port Kembla Hydrogen Hub	Jemena	Steam Methane Reforming	NSW	Development of a hydrogen hub in the Illawarra / Port Kembla region is in the concept discussions stage. More information about Port Kembla Hydrogen Hub.
Moomba Hydrogen Project	Santos	Steam Methane Reforming	SA	Project under development expected to be operational by 2026.
H2TAS	Woodside Energy	Electrolysis	TAS	H2TAS will use a combination of hydropower and wind power to create a 100% renewable ammonia product for export as well as renewable hydrogen for domestic use. More information about H2TAS project.
H2Perth	Woodside Energy	Electrolysis and Natural Gas reforming	WA	H2Perth, to be built in the Rockingham Industry Zone in southern metropolitan Perth, will produce ammonia and liquid hydrogen for both export and local use. The facility would use a combination of natural gas reforming and electrolysis. H2Perth is designed to be net zero from day one, with production emissions abated or offset. Later phases involve the expansion of electrolysis, to be powered by renewable energy developments. More information about H2Perth project.
