New Energy
Pursuing lower-carbon energy sources
Our new energy strategy
At Woodside, we are investing in the new energy products and the lower-carbon services our customers need as they decarbonise. We are progressing opportunities for producing products such as hydrogen and ammonia. We have targeted $5 billion investment 1 in new energy products and lower-carbon services by 2030.

Customer Collaborations
A key component of Woodside’s strategy to invest in new energy products and lower-carbon services is to work with potential customers to develop demand for new sources of energy. Customer collaboration highlights in 2021 include:
- A new export project consortium with Japan’s IHI Corporation and Marubeni Corporation in connection with H2TAS
- A joint feasibility study to establish a clean fuel ammonia supply chain from Australia to Japan with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation, Marubeni Corporation, Hokuriku Electric Power Company and The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.
- Forming the HyStation company alongside five other parties in September 2021 to drive hydrogen bus adoption in the Republic of Korea
- Agreeing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hyzon Motor Company to explore collaboration opportunities in the US and Australia
- Agreeing a MOU with Keppel Data Centres, City Energy, Osaka Gas Singapore and City-OG Gas Energy Services to study the feasibility of a liquid hydrogen supply chain to Singapore and potentially Japan from Woodside’s proposed H2Perth project.
Hydrogen and Ammonia
In 2021, we made significant progress by securing land for three proposed projects:
- H2Perth, a world-scale liquid hydrogen and ammonia production facility to be located on 130 hectares of industrial land in southern metropolitan Perth
- H2TAS, a 100% renewable ammonia project to be located in Tasmania’s Bell Bay region, allowing expansion of the previous concept to export scale while also providing local supply
- H2OK, a 290 MW liquid hydrogen project in the Westport Industrial Park, Ardmore, Oklahoma. Front-end engineering design has commenced.

Solar
Our new energy technology focus is on hydrogen production, renewables and carbon management. In October 2021 we announced a collaboration with Heliogen, Inc. including a proposed commercial-scale pilot facility in California. In March 2022, Heliogen and Woodside entered into a project agreement to deploy a 5 MWe module of Heliogen’s AI-enabled concentrated solar energy technology in California and jointly market Heliogen’s renewable energy technology in Australia. Heliogen is a leading provider of artificial intelligence enabled concentrated solar technology.
Woodside is also progressing the Woodside Solar Project, a proposed solar facility that could supply 100 MW of solar energy to Pluto LNG and other customers located near Karratha in Western Australia, with potential expansion to a maximum of 500 MW. Read more about our solar activities here.
