In 2020, the project’s proponents switched to using the emissions-free power to separate hydrogen from water using electrolysers, and then adding nitrogen to produce more easily transported ammonia for export. The idea died from a lack of customers with the financial strength to underwrite the project with solid long-term power purchase agreements. The Asian Renewable Energy Hub got its name from a plan to use subsea cables to sell power to Java, Indonesia’s most populated island. Since the hub was first conceived, demand for clean energy has appeared in the Pilbara with Fortescue aiming to be emissions-free by 2030 and fellow iron ore miners Rio Tinto and BHP planning substantial cuts in emissions. BP’s decision to chase domestic customers is the third attempt by stakeholders to generate revenue from 26 gigawatts of solar and wind energy, planned for a location remote even by the standards of northwest WA.
