HARAKEKE
Hiringa Energy and Ngā Wairiki Ngāti Apa are co-developing a large-scale, integrated wind and solar to green hydrogen and methanol production play.
This project will produce commercial quantities of low-carbon fuel to decarbonise New Zealand’s highly emissions-intensive marine transport sector.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Comprising
-
~280 MW of combined wind turbines and solar
-
~100 MW of electrolysis to produce ~15,000 TPA of green hydrogen
-
Combined with green CO to manufacture up to ~90,000 TPA of green methanol
Key attributes:
-
High quality wind resource
-
Affordable electricity supply
-
Green CO supply
-
Low consenting risk
-
Developing offtake agreements with leading shipping companies with vessels in construction for NZ market
-
Highly aligned and capable venture partnership
➔ Leading near term Power to X opportunity to produce
e-methanol and activate a greater market.
New Zealand has the resources required to produce green methanol in large quantities: Large sources of low-cost renewable energy: existing, planned, and potential Large supply of biogenic CO derived from forestry industry biomass Existing methanol expertise, plants, pipelines, tank farms, and port facilities.
