Yuri Phase 0 Green Hydrogen Project – WA

Project description

Project Yuri, a collaboration between Yara Clean Ammonia and ENGIE is leading the way in developing one of the world’s first industrial scale renewable hydrogen projects located on Burrup Peninsula, approximately 11 km northwest of Karratha in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The project involves the construction and operation of a Renewable Hydrogen Plant and associated infrastructure, including a dedicated 18 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) farm, 10 MWe hydrogen electrolyser, an 8MW/8MWH lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and balance of plant and supporting infrastructure. Once commissioned, the project will be capable of producing up to 640 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year, leveraging on the abundant renewable resources in Western Australia and will be amongst the largest renewable energy powered electrolysis plant in the world.
