The Government of South Australia and private sector are collaborating to deliver the Port Bonython Hydrogen Hub as a multi-user precinct leveraging the state's renewable energy opportunities and enabling export from a clean hydrogen industrial hub. Learn more about the benefits of hydrogen hub developments.
The Port Bonython Hydrogen Hub is located near Stony Point in the Upper Spencer Gulf. The hub is proposed to be South Australia’s first large-scale clean hydrogen production precinct for both export and domestic markets and is an integral part of South Australia’s strategy to enter the global hydrogen market.
Located in the Upper Spencer Gulf, Port Bonython has:
- an existing deep-water liquid hydrocarbon export terminal
- over 2,000 hectares of developable land.
This export facility will enable South Australia to ship products made using renewable energy offshore while creating regional jobs.
Commonwealth funding
The Australian Government and Government of South Australia signed a grant agreement in October 2023 to invest in developing common user infrastructure at the proposed Port Bonython Hydrogen Hub.
The Australian Government has committed $70 million in matched funding, with $30 million from the South Australian Government and $40 million expected to be contributed by participating developers to enable the export of hydrogen from the Port Bonython Jetty and early investigations into other potential common user infrastructure.
