The MEG-HP1 project set to be developed by Infinite Green Energy (IGE) is expected to produce 4.3 tonnes of hydrogen per day, utilising power from the Northam Solar Farm, made up of 33,600 solar panels.
In August this year (2022), IGE announced it had secured all remaining land for the project, offering the option to double production to eight tonnes per day, as well as revealing plans to establish refuelling stations.

It is hoped hydrogen produced at the Northam site will be used for the heavy-duty transport sector, targeting back-to-base logistics operators and local governments with in-depot refuelling.
Commenting on the FEED contact, Gareth Philp, Australia Managing Director at Technip Energies, said, “We are proud to have been selected as an execution partner by Infinite Green Energy for the MEG-HP1 Early Production Facility project. We are committed to leveraging our local footprint and our integration and design expertise to contribute to building the future of green hydrogen in Australia.”
Stephen Gauld, CEO and founder of Infinite Green Energy, added, “This is an important milestone for Infinite Green Energy and we’re pleased to be partnering with Technip Energies on front-end engineering and design.
“Our MEG-HP1 Early Production facility at Northam is leading the transition to a Net Zero economy. With first gas expected in 2024, Infinite Green Energy is on track to delivering some of the first commercial-scale green hydrogen in Western Australia.”
