    First hydrogen production targeted for second half of 2026

OVERVIEW

Hydrogen Refueller @H2Perth

The Hydrogen Refueller @ H2Perth (Hydrogen Refueller) is a self-contained hydrogen production, storage and refuelling station located in Rockingham, Western Australia.

The Hydrogen Refueller is currently under construction and is targeting an initial production of approximately 235 kgs per day of hydrogen, with the potential to scale up to approximately 1,000 kgs per day.

Once operational, it can supply heavy vehicles, passenger cases and tube trailers or ISO containers on site. It will supply hydrogen to local customers, helping to stimulate and enable hydrogen demand in Western Australia whilst supporting the State Government’s decarbonisation and energy diversification goals.

The Hydrogen Refueller is targeting first production in the second half of 2026.

Our approach

Our approach to hydrogen today is grounded in pragmatism, targeting smaller-scale opportunities that align with market and operational realities.

The Hydrogen Refueller will allow Woodside, customers and suppliers to gain operational and technical experience in hydrogen production and distribution, opening the door to critical learnings in the hydrogen sector, supporting the scaling up of larger opportunities in the future.

The Hydrogen Refueller @H2Perth aims to:

  1. Help to stimulate and enable hydrogen demand in Western Australia.
  2. Support the decarbonisation of hard to abate sectors such as heavy trucking and local industrial operations, where electrification can be challenging and costly.
  3. Plays a role in supporting the Western Australian State Government objectives for hydrogen to be a fuel source for transport by 2030.1

Intending to be net zero from the start of operations

Hydrogen can offer the potential to decarbonise parts of the energy system where other measures such as direct electrification are more difficult or expensive, including sections of heavy industry and long-haul transport.

At the Hydrogen Refueller, Woodside will produce hydrogen using electrolysis. This is a process where electricity is used to separate hydrogen (H2) from water (H2O). Depending on the source of the electricity used, electrolysis can have varying emissions profiles.

Woodside’s intent is for the Hydrogen Refueller to be net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the start of operations. To achieve this, the Hydrogen Refueller will be powered by 100% renewable electricity.2

Collaboration

The key to unlocking lower-carbon solutions is collaboration. A large part of Woodside’s strategy in developing the Hydrogen Refueller was to collaborate with governments, customers, contractors and suppliers to bring this project towards operations.

Western Australian State Government

Hydrogen Refueller @H2Perth has received funding from the Hydrogen Fuelled Transport Project Funding Process as part of the Western Australian government’s Renewable Hydrogen Strategy.
