Following its announcement of Australia\u2019s largest hydrogen strategy, the NSW Government has released a new report outlining a roadmap to build a thriving Power-to-X (P2X) industry which could see the state become a global renewable energy superpower.
\nP2X technologies use cheap, excess renewable energy to split abundant molecules such as water, carbon dioxide and air to make green products like hydrogen, ammonia, methane and methanol for use as fuel, chemicals and feedstocks in NSW and for export to overseas markets as green energy commodities.
\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney and Minister for Trade and Industry Stuart Ayres said the\u00a0NSW P2X Industry Pre-Feasibility Study<\/em>, led by UNSW Sydney, had unearthed the state\u2019s potential to become a global leader in P2X.
\n\u201cThis is further confirmation that NSW intends to lead the country in green hydrogen production. Our state has an opportunity to capitalise on the global pivot to low-carbon fuels to commoditise our renewable resources and export to overseas markets, creating both clean energy and jobs for NSW,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s critical that our future industry and investment planning aligns with NSW\u2019s 2050 net-zero emissions target. NSW is revolutionising its industry and workforce by embracing new technologies to meet this commitment.
\n\u201cA thriving P2X industry could also unlock opportunities to boost regional and NSW economics, with the report identifying opportunities to establish P2X industries in several regional centres including the Illawarra, Hunter and Parkes.
\n\u201cBy leveraging existing and planned infrastructure such as ports, inland rail and logistics hubs, our regional centres will become the powerhouse of P2X production to supply the local and global market.\u201d
\nTreasurer and Minister for Energy and Environment Matt Kean said the study reaffirms NSW\u2019s ambition to set the state up as a global hydrogen leader.
\n\u201cP2X will not only help NSW in getting to net zero in 2050 and halving its emissions by 2030, it will create new opportunities for our heavy industry and make our state a global renewable powerhouse.\u201d Mr Kean said.
\nNSW Chief Scientist & Engineer Professor Hugh Durrant-Whyte said P2X will unlock the next wave of clean technology development opportunities for NSW.
\n\u201cWith many states in Australia and countries around the world now joining the hydrogen race, NSW is thinking beyond the hydrogen economy and aims to take the first-mover advantage to build our capabilities and industries in P2X,\u201d Professor Durrant-Whyte said.
\nThe\u00a0NSW P2X Industry Pre-Feasibility Study<\/em>\u00a0roadmap proposes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A P2X Innovation Network<\/strong>\u00a0to enhance collaboration between industry, researchers and government in technology advancement and industry development<\/li>\n
  2. Establishing a P2X R&D Commercialisation Hub<\/strong>\u00a0to provide research infrastructure, expertise, and resources to support commercialisation-driven R&D<\/li>\n
  3. Deploying early stage P2X projects<\/strong>\u00a0to pave the way for technology adoption at commercial scale<\/li>\n
  4. Identifying export opportunities<\/strong>\u00a0for P2X products<\/li>\n
  5. Targeted investment<\/strong>\u00a0in homegrown disruptive technologies<\/li>\n
  6. Building vertically integrated P2X value chains<\/strong>\u00a0and local manufacturing capability<\/li>\n
  7. Developing P2X eco-industrial precincts<\/strong>\u00a0to lay the foundation for NSW\u2019s P2X economy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
