ACCIONA Energía has announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Stanwell Corporation, a Queensland Government Owned Corporation, for future energy supply via a direct connection between ACCIONA Energía’s Aldoga photovoltaic plant and the Stanwell-led CQ-H2 consortium’s proposed large-scale green hydrogen electrolysis facility.

A consortium led by Stanwell Corporation -which also includes Japanese companies Iwatani Corporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kansai Electric Power and Marubeni Corporation, and the Australian group APT Management Services (APA)- is implementing a feasibility study of the Central Queensland Hydrogen Project (CQH2).

The CQ-H2 project is a proposed staged 3,000MW electrolysis complex to support the decarbonisation of central Queensland industry and export some of its output. The plant aims to produce about 100 tons per day of hydrogen by 2026 scaling up to 900 tons per day of hydrogen by 2031.

ACCIONA Energía has achieved a major milestone in the development of the Aldoga PV plant following the agreement reached with the Queensland Government for the land needed to install up to 600MWp solar PV facility on the Central Queensland coast.
