Tune in to find out for yourself how hydrogen can contribute to the decarbonisation of Australia and the world. 0.30 - Intro to Guest: Sam Lee Mohan, MD & CEO of Frontier EnergySam has 20 years of experience in the energy and utilities industry, including design, construction, strategic asset management, regulation, policy, commercial and innovation. Previous appointments included Global Head of Hydrogen for Xodus Group and Senior Manager for Innovation at ATCO. 1.30 - Intro to Frontier EnergyFrontier Energy is an ASX-listed, renewable energy company, based in WA. Its flagship project is developing a 114MW solar farm, tied to a 36MW (electrolyser) hydrogen production plant at Bristol Springs. Stage one will produce 4.4Mkg of hydrogen p.a., growing to 73Mkg p.a. It will also roll out a re-fuelling station in “the Perth CBD.” Construction begins at the end of this year.  2.48 - Update on the stage of the projectThe project is currently at an advanced stage. The location is one of the fundamental aspects as it is located 120 km south of Perth. It is connected to water and power infrastructure. 5km from major transport routes. The main focus at present is securing offtake. Commissioning is projected for the first half of 2025 and hydrogen production in the latter part of 2025. 4.05 - Deeper dive into the project:Daytime power comes from the solar plant. Off-peak power from the grid, so utilisation is around 75% to achieve the best price/supply combination. The challenge is to develop the right production at the right scale at the right time. In time the 114MW could be scaled up to just over 1GW. Challenge is deploying the right technology, at the right time, at the right scale. 6.19 - Having access to world-class infrastructure is fundamental to kick-starting this industry and having...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/QIKjxyMtnzaMwNS35XBfZBFgjh2riCYpMZmhbiY-rkM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MGEy/NjFlNmUwNWEzOWE5/Y2VjYjllMzliOGRl/YTc4MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
