The New South Wales government’s new hydrogen strategy has identified Wagga as a potential site for the production, distribution and industrial use of the advanced energy source that promises zero carbon emissions. Legislation allowing funds for the strategy was approved by the New South Wales Parliament on Friday with the aim of stimulating more than $ 80 billion in private investment and 10,000 jobs across the state in the new form of energy. The primary focus of the strategy was $ 70 million to develop hydrogen hubs in the Illawarra and Hunter regions. However, Wagga executives said the city has the ability to attract new jobs and businesses through the development of hydrogen to provide energy for industrial users and fuel for transportation. The strategy also listed Wagga as a potential hydrogen hub due to the city’s location close to freight rail, high-voltage transmission lines, renewables, and sewage treatment plants. as a potential source of hydrogen gas. Wagga Mayor Greg Conkey said the city is ideally placed for hydrogen. “Energy is a major component of this and Wagga is ideally located, being the power transmission hub for South Australia with power coming from Snowy 2.0 and going to South Australia and drawing power. in all solar farms, â€Cr Conkey said. “Energy Minister Matt Kean said a few months ago that Wagga has the potential to become the Hunter Valley of South Australia… it’s the energy of the future I’m sure.” The hydrogen strategy called for the government to fund a 100% hydrogen cross-linked gas pipeline in the Wagga Special Activation Zone through the $ 4.2 billion Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund. “The Regional Growth NSW Development Corporation has already committed to funding a hydrogen crosslinking network to supply industrial customers in the Wagga neighborhood,†the strategy says. Cross-linking networks use low-pressure pipelines to service particular areas, such as the Bomen Special Activation Zone which will use streamlined planning approvals to attract new industrial businesses. Commission 4 Wagga chief executive Brett Somerville said hydrogen was a clean energy source for the national plan to achieve net zero carbon emissions. “This is a great opportunity for Wagga to be part of the future,†he said. “We’re a completely new site, so it’s pretty easy for hydrogen storage and logistics to get established in Wagga. “Being halfway between Sydney and Melbourne and on the Adelaide Highway means Wagga is a great place for hydrogen storage. , which needs to be specially treated during transport, and the railway line will play an important role in it. access our trusted content:
