Woodside Energy expects to start producing renewable hydrogen at its H2Perth refuelling project in Rockingham, Western Australia, during the third quarter of 2026. The facility uses a 2.6MW electrolyser capable of making up to 235 kilograms of hydrogen per day, with plans to scale to around 1,000 kilograms daily. The hydrogen will supply an on-site refuelling station for hydrogen-powered vehicles, relying on grid electricity backed by renewable energy certificates. Woodside has already completed leak testing and cold commissioning of the refuelling station. The project is a smaller piece of a larger H2Perth export plan that could eventually produce 30,000 tonnes of liquid hydrogen annually. A conditional offtake agreement with Singapore's Keppel would send hydrogen to data centres by 2030. Meanwhile, Woodside cancelled a green hydrogen project in Oklahoma due to rising costs and weak demand, and delayed blue ammonia supply from its Beaumont facility in Texas. The company still aims to start blue ammonia production in 2027, pending completion of Linde's facilities and ExxonMobil's carbon capture infrastructure.
