Brisbane could be home to one of the world's largest renewable hydrogen plants following an injection of federal funds into an ammonia project.
Fortescue Future Industries and Incitec Pivot will receive $13.7 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to investigate developing a hydrogen facility to decarbonise an ammonia plant.
A proposed 500-megawatt electrolyser capable of producing up to 70,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually is at the centre of the $38 million project.
