Evolving to meet changing energy needs
At AGIG, we have a Low Carbon Strategy that seeks to ensure our gas transmission pipelines and distribution networks meet the needs of our customers in a sustainable way.
The Dampier Bunbury Pipeline (DBP) is one of the largest capacity natural gas pipelines in Australia and the backbone of energy infrastructure in the west. Its ability to store and transport hydrogen is currently being explored.
About the Western Australian Feasibility Study
This study builds upon AGIG’s investigations into introduction hydrogen into low-pressure gas distribution networks by focusing on the large-scale DBP asset.
Supported by the Western Australian Government with a grant of $216,000, this work aligns with the State’s vision to accelerate a renewable hydrogen future through its Western Australian Renewable Hydrogen Strategy which aims to blend at least 10% renewable hydrogen in its pipelines and networks by 2030.
As a result of this study, there is now a clear pathway for declaring a pipeline section as suitable for use with hydrogen/natural gas blends. This pathway includes material testing, additional operational constraints and a realignment of regulatory and commercial frameworks.

Hydrogen Park South Australia
Online in May 2021, HyP SA is an Australian-first facility to supply blended renewable gas via the existing gas network. Australia’s largest electrolyser, the 1.25MW unit produces renewable hydrogen which is blended up to volumes of 5% with natural gas and supplied to more than 700 existing homes in the adjacent suburb of Mitchell Park. It also supplies industry via tube trailer.

Located at Gladstone in central Queensland, HyP Gladstone is currently under development. From 2022, the facility will produce renewable hydrogen for blending at volumes of up to 10% and supply to around 800 residential, commercial and industrial customers.
Learn MoreAustralian Hydrogen Centre
Established in 2019, the AHC is a joint industry and Government research centre delivering feasibility studies focused on blending 10% hydrogen into existing gas distribution networks and converting networks to 100% hydrogen in South Australia and Victoria. Studies will be completed in 2022.
Learn MoreWestern Australian Feasibility Study
The Western Australian Feasibility Study determines the suitability of the Dampier to Bunbury Pipeline to introduce hydrogen into its mix. Completed in 2021, the study includes both technical assessment and development of a roadmap to support development of industry regulation.
Learn MoreHydrogen Park Murray Valley
HyP Murray Valley was awarded funding by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) in May 2021. This 10MW facility would produce renewable hydrogen for blending at volumes of up to 10% and supply to around 40,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in Wodonga and Albury. Along with our partners ENGIE, we are targeting Final Investment Decision in 2022 and first production in 2023.
Learn MoreGladstone Hydrogen Ecosystem
In March 2021, a Memorandum of Understanding between AGN, Sumitomo Australia, Gladstone Ports Corporation, Gladstone Regional Council, and CQUniversity for a hydrogen ecosystem in Gladstone was executed. The first phase of this plan will be delivered in 2022.
