Utilising domestic expertise combined with proven performance in significant and large scale project development and delivery, LINE Hydrogen draws on its years of expertise to deliver one of the first large scale, commercial GREEN H2 production in 2024. Taking its wealth of knowledge in designing, building, constructing and operating large scale projects, and applying it to hydrogen production underpins the business model and commercial drivers of the LINE Hydrogen projects.
The George Town Project (Tasmania)
Commissioning in mid to late 2024 (subject to capital raising) with a capacity of 1.69t H2/day, the George Town project, near Bell Bay, Tasmania, will grow to 14.9t H2/day over 9 years, targeting delivery of low cost Hydrogen into Tasmania’s heavy haulage fleets, light vehicle fleets, and mobile power providers.
Behind the meter PPA colocation with partner Climate Capital, The Bell Bay Solar Farm will be Tasmania’s first utility scale solar farm providing a sustainable, long-term source of emission-free electricity.
The SEQ Project (Queensland)
After 5 years of ideation and more than 2 years exploring the Toowoomba option, through self funding and support by the Founders, the Toowoomba Project will deliver supply-side security and optimised viability to the hydrogen industry in the region and beyond.
Commissioning in 2025 (subject to capital raising) with a capacity of 1.69t H2/day, the SEQ Southern project will grow to 19.4t H2/day over 10 years, targeting delivery of low cost Hydrogen into Queensland’s heavy haulage fleets, light vehicle fleets, and mining drill and blast providers.
The Lord Byron Project (Western Australia)
OCTOBER 2022 - LINE Hydrogen announced an MOU with Blue Cap Mining for the development of the Lord Byron Gold project in Western Australia's gold fields as Australia’s first zero emissions mine
The project seeks to replace some 13.2 million litres of diesel that would otherwise be consumed during the normal course of mining and metallurgical processing operations. Commencing in December quarter 2024
LINE Hydrogen will provide:
the green hydrogen production facilities
approximately 893,000kg of green hydrogen per annum
the technical capability required to convert the mining fleet to green hydrogen operation
Expansion likely to supply green hydrogen to other mining and heavy industry in the region
Hydrogen Heavy Vehicles (HHV) Project
The successful take-up of hydrogen requires development of the demand side, in conjunction with hydrogen supply.
LINE Hydrogen is establishing a fleet of heavy-haulage hydrogen powered trucks. These will be fuelled by our own hydrogen production, operated through a combination of direct leasing to transport companies, or operated directly under heavy haulage and transport contracts, which LINE Hydrogen management have significant experience in. The first 22 trucks are scheduled to be delivered to our Tasmanian trucking company partners in 2024, for operation in conjunction with the commissioning of the George Town Project.
Hydrogen Production
Our production strategy sees the delivery of green hydrogen through large scale production of an initial 1.2-1.6 tonnes of green hydrogen per day, increasing to 4.3 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2025. Production is scheduled to commence in 2024 and scale up over the next two years to deliver commercial scale hydrogen for a range of off-takes and markets including transportation vehicles, back to base and passenger fleets, as well as mining operations and support for the move to net zero carbon mining projects.
In addition, LINE Hydrogen will collaborate with key stakeholders including Australian fuel distributors, state and federal governments, vehicle manufacturers and the public to strategically deploy publicly accessible hydrogen fueling stations to expand the deployment and uptake of hydrogen and ensure long term operation and viability of the industry. In doing so, we will move the needle from “market pending” to “market ready” - enabling and accelerating the uptake of the hydrogen market in Australia. The Project is significant in both size and scale and the impact to the hydrogen market in the region and beyond.
Equipment Manufacturing
Our manufacturing strategy will challenge the status quo, and change the game by providing domestically manufactured equipment necessary to roll out and utilise green renewable hydrogen and emissions-free fuel across Australia. LINE Hydrogen is collaborating with academic and industrial partners to realise our vision of a domestic green hydrogen equipment manufacturing industry, by bringing manufacturing capability together with the IP and ideas to deliver Australian made products, and ensure sovereign capability to support and develop a hydrogen industry in Australia. LINE Hydrogen is also developing its own range of low-cost, very low NOx hydrogen combustion engines to broaden green hydrogen’s application in heavy haulage, particularly in long-haul applications above 49t GCM, and for applications more challenging outback environments, where hydrogen internal combustion engines offer a number of advantages.
