We are thrilled to be partnering with the State of South Australia in the development of the Northern Water project. The decision to site the Northern Water project, a 260 megalitre-a-day desalination plant, at Cape Hardy represents a huge step forward and will be a critical resource as we drive to produce green hydrogen at scale in Cape Hardy. Amp Australia continues to make progress in developing up to 10GW of electrolyser capacity in the precinct, establishing South Australia as a global leader in the production of green hydrogen and ammonia.
