The Gingerah Energy vision is to produce affordable clean energy, providing energy security and economic opportunity in the northwest of Australia.
Gingerah Energy, in partnership with the Karajarri, is developing a multi-gigawatt renewable power hub, with the ability to produce green hydrogen and ammonia for domestic use and international trade.
Green hydrogen and green ammonia are future fuels, allowing the conversion of renewable energy to a safe, efficient liquid fuel that can be transported to an end-user.
Land access and location
Situated on Vacant Unallocated Crown Land with access to major ports the Gingerah Energy Hub is ideally located in an area with manageable environmental sensitivities, the support of traditional owners, secure access to the site and proximity to major ports facing the Indian Ocean. Gingerah Energy proudly signed an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the Karajarri Traditionally Owners in 2024 covering their entire 30,000 km² determination area.
Traditional owner owned
Gingerah Energy is working with the traditional owners of the land and the Western Australian Government to perform the site characterisation works required to define the project scope and concept in such a way that environmental impacts are net positive and sustainable. The Karajarri Traditional Lands Association holds equity in Gingerah Energy, ensuring productive collaboration and sustainable development.
Green hydrogen
Green hydrogen is a net-zero fuel. Green hydrogen is made by electrolysis, where water molecules are split into hydrogen and oxygen. The water and oxygen can be combined again which releases energy and the only emission is water. Green hydrogen can be combined with nitrogen from the air creating green ammonia, a convenient alternative to transporting energy in the form of hydrogen.
Scale
The vast project area and abundance of renewable resources create an opportunity for 3 GW+ project from a mix of renewable energy sources. 3 GW is equal to 180,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production, or 1 million tonnes per annum of green ammonia.
Sustainability
Harnessing the abundant renewable energy
resources of the Gingerah region including solar, wind and potentially geothermal energy in combination with battery storage to produce power a hyperscale data centre.
A combination of power generation methods will meet sustainability objectives. The project area has high levels of solar irradiance, reasonable wind speeds and elevated geothermal gradient; solar PV, concentrated solar, geothermal energy and wind energy will be combined to deliver reliable, cost-effective energy with the least environmental disturbance.
Water is sustainably sourced from deep aquifers and treated as needed.
