Hydrogen Park Wagga Wagga (HyP Wagga Wagga) is a project centered around a 10 MW renewable gas production facility within the Bomen industrial precinct, approximately 6 km northeast of Wagga Wagga. This facility aims to produce up to 2.6 tonnes of renewable gas per day, which will be blended with natural gas at up to 20% by volume and supplied to approximately 23,500 connections through the existing AGN Wagga Wagga gas network.
Using renewable electricity to produce the hydrogen, HyP Wagga Wagga will play an important first step in reducing carbon from our gas supply in the region. The project is also exploring opportunities to provide hydrogen to local industries and support the transition of the regional transport fleet to zero-emission vehicles.
One of Australia’s largest gas infrastructure businesses and a leader in renewable gas.
We deliver gas to two million customers across every Australian mainland state and the Northern Territory, through 35,000km of distribution networks, 4,300km of gas transmission pipelines and utilising 60 petajoules of gas storage capacity with small quantities of native gas production.
We own and operate infrastructure that delivers gas to Australian homes, businesses and communities; and deliver and store gas that supports the Australian economy for power generation, mines and manufacturers.
As a business, we are taking active steps towards sustainable gas delivery. In 2021, we delivered Australia’s largest renewable hydrogen production facility: Hydrogen Park South Australia, and during 2023 we started development of two further facilities, Hydrogen Park Gladstone and Hydrogen Park Murray Valley.
Our work towards a low carbon future extends beyond renewable hydrogen production. We are also working with our customers and stakeholders to deliver infrastructure solutions to lower emissions, including biomethane facilities, and have begun exploring the potential for carbon capture and sequestration solutions.
