Lion Energy Limited announced it has obtained development approval from the State Assessment and Referral Agency (“SARA”), the relevant planning agency of the Queensland State Government, for its hydrogen generation and refuelling hub (“Hydrogen Hub”) project located at 6 Howard Smith Drive, Port of Brisbane. PoB facility construction to commence in Q2 2024, commissioning expected in 2H 2024
The Decision Notice advises that the Development Application is Approved, subject to conditions. In conjunction with this Development Approval, Lion has been issued an Environmental Authority Permit P-EA-100510872 to produce more than 200t of Hydrogen per year.
The Government’s approval represents a key milestone for the project, which can proceed to the construction phase. Lion understands that only a handful of green hydrogen projects have already received State approval to date and the swift outcome is a testimony of thorough and proficient planning by the project team.
The Hydrogen Hub is geared towards heavy mobility fleets with an early focus on supplying hydrogen to domestic public bus fleets, truck fleets, and fuel cell gensets for the construction and mining industry. Lion’s facility at the PoB will be one of the first of its scale in Queensland.
