Australian Hydrogen Projects: Locations, Production Methods, and Capacities

Geoscience Australia's dataset catalogs active Australian hydrogen projects in development, construction, or operation. It includes location data, proponent details, energy sources, production methods, and annual production amounts. The dataset underpins the Australia Hydrogen Opportunities Tool (AusH2) and was produced for the COAG Energy Council’s Hydrogen Working Group in 2019, with updates coordinated via HyResource.

Use Cases

• Mapping project locations and density based on the included location data.
• Analyzing the distribution of renewable vs. CCS-enabled hydrogen production based on the production method field.
• Estimating regional hydrogen production capacity based on the annual production amount data.
• Identifying key industry proponents and their project portfolios based on the proponent details.

Strengths

• Includes projects meeting specific criteria from Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy.
• Contains multiple data facets: location, proponent, production method, and annual capacity.
• Serves as the basis for a national geospatial analysis tool (AusH2).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
