Australian Hydrogen Projects and Research Centres Dataset (November, 2021)

This dataset features Australian hydrogen projects and research centres that are active in the development, construction, or operating phase, and meet renewable hydrogen or carbon capture and storage (CCS) hydrogen production methods outlined in Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy. This dataset aims is to provide a detailed snapshot of hydrogen activity across Australia. It includes location data, proponent details, and descriptions for all hydrogen projects and research centres listed. Additional data is included for hydrogen projects, such as the energy source for hydrogen production, the method of hydrogen production, and the amount of hydrogen to be produced per year. This dataset is the basis of the point-location map of active Australian hydrogen projects and research centres featured on the Australia Hydrogen Opportunities Tool (AusH2.ga.gov.au). AusH2 aims to attract investment in Australia’s hydrogen industry, providing high quality, free, online geospatial analysis tools and data for mapping and understanding Australia’s hydrogen potential. It hosts key national-scale datasets, such as locations of wind and solar resources and distribution of infrastructure, as well as the Hydrogen Economic Fairways Tool (HEFT) that maps the economic viability of hydrogen production in Australia. The user can examine both hydrogen production by electrolysis using renewable energy sources and fossil fuel produced hydrogen coupled with CCS. AusH2 was produced by Geoscience Australia for the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council’s Hydrogen Working Group in 2019. Updates to this dataset since September 2020 are coordinated with research.csiro.au/HyResource

本数据集收录了澳大利亚处于开发、建设或运营阶段的氢能项目及研究中心，且这些项目和中心均采用澳大利亚国家氢能战略中概述的可再生氢能或碳捕获与封存（CCS）制氢方法。本数据集旨在提供澳大利亚氢能活动的详细概览，包含所有列出的氢能项目及研究中心的位置数据、项目发起方详情与描述信息。针对氢能项目，数据集还补充了制氢能源来源、制氢方法及年制氢量等额外数据。本数据集是澳大利亚氢能机遇工具（AusH2.ga.gov.au）所展示的澳大利亚在运氢能项目及研究中心点位地图的基础。AusH2旨在吸引对澳大利亚氢能产业的投资，提供高质量、免费的在线地理空间分析工具与数据，以绘制并理解澳大利亚的氢能潜力。该工具收录了关键的国家级数据集，例如风能与太阳能资源分布、基础设施布局，以及用于绘制澳大利亚制氢经济可行性的氢能经济通道工具（HEFT）。用户可通过该工具查看两种制氢方式：利用可再生能源的电解法制氢，以及结合CCS的化石燃料制氢。AusH2由澳大利亚地质科学局于2019年为澳大利亚政府理事会（COAG）能源委员会氢能工作组开发。自2020年9月起，本数据集的更新工作与research.csiro.au/HyResource协同进行。
