Moolawatana Renewable Hydrogen Project
Moolawatana Renewable Hydrogen Project is a hydrogen project in Australia; status: stopped.
Overview
Statusstopped
Country · regionAustralia
Technologyelectrolysis powered by proposed solar/wind; desalination in proposed design
Productrenewable (green) hydrogen; proposed green ammonia derivative for export
CapacityWind Generation: around 3000 MW; Solar Generation: around 3000 MW; Combined Solar And Wind Generation: up to 6000 MW
Capacity values retain their recorded units and scope. MW, kt H₂/y and Nm³ H₂/h are different measures; this page does not convert or add them without a shared operating basis. “Other Electrolysis” and “Unknown PtX” are recorded classifications, not a specific electrolyzer design or power-to-X route.
