Renewable hydrogen
pathways
South Australia's abundant wind and solar
resources are the launchpad for the state's
renewable hydrogen industry.
Reduced costs of solar and wind energy combined with electrolyser
technology advancements have created a tipping point, where
renewable hydrogen is now a growingly viable and much needed
carbon-free fuel for both Australia's domestic and export markets.
Renewable hydrogen technologies have considerable potential
to couple primary energy sectors such as gas, electricity, and
transport for the optimised supply of carbon-free energy to mining,
agriculture and heavy industries domestically and overseas.

Liquefaction / Conversion plants
Hydrogen can be liquefied or blended with other
chemicals to create other products (for example,
ammonia or methylcyclohexane).
Industry and
agriculture
Hydrogen or ammonia have a
variety of uses in several industries
such as mining, farming and
manufacturing.
Storage
The hydrogen is stored under
pressure before being transported
for use.
Water
Electrolyser
An electrolyser uses electricity to separate
water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and
Oxygen (O2).
If renewable energy is used to power
the electrolyser, renewable or 'green'
hydrogen is produced.

Transportation
Pipeline
Vehicles
Fuel cell electric vehicles
including cars, buses, trains,
trucks, forklifts, motorcycles and
others are powered by hydrogen.
Natural gas
network
Hydrogen can be stored in the natural
gas network, and used to lower carbon
emissions.
Electricity
Hydrogen can be converted
back to electricity by using a
fuel cell or gas turbine. This can
help supply the network during
times of high demand.
