Denham Hydrogen Demonstration Project Construction and Commissioning Report

Horizon Power operates remote electricity microgrids throughout Western Australia. These microgrids use a mix of diesel, gas, solar, and wind sources for generation, and the increased use of renewable energy for these remote power stations are a priority for Horizon Power.

The use of hydrogen to capture and store excess renewable energy and then return that energy to the electricity system provides a viable alternative to the continued consumption of diesel, also provides an energy storage mechanism that may compete favourably with batteries.

The report details the process, experiences and learnings from the project including:

• Project objectives,
• Hydrogen plant technical specifications,
• Project delivery methodology,
• Design considerations,
• Key project metrics,
• Risk management,
• Project approvals,
• Construction and commissioning activities, and
• Lessons learnt and key findings
