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 introducing 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
Commencing production in May 2021, and expanded in March 2023, HyP SA delivers a 10% (by volume) renewable gas blend to more than 3,700 gas customers across Adelaide’s south in the suburbs of Mitchell Park, Clovelly Park and parts of Marion. It also supplies the transport and industry sectors via tube trailer (long storage tubes on the back of semi-trailers).
Learn MoreHydrogen Park Gladstone
HyP Gladstone is the first city in Australia where the entire gas distribution network supplies customers with a blend of up to 10% (by volume) of renewable gas. There are about 700 customers connected to this network who are able to benefit from the renewable gas blend.
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 were completed in 2023 and can be found on ARENA’s Knowledge Bank.
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
Developed by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group, HyP Murray Valley is a $65.46m project supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, the Victorian Government and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. HyP Murray Valley will see the development of a 10 MW electrolyser and associated equipment to produce renewable hydrogen.
