Worley wins FEED contract for hydrogen and methanol project in Tasmania

In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Australia’s ABEL Energy has awarded compatriot company Worley with front-end engineering design (FEED) work for its $1.116 billion green hydrogen and methanol project at Bell Bay in Northern Tasmania. Under the agreement, Worley said the company will design and engineer the facility, while also providing procurement and construction services through to the final investment decision (FID). Worley also noted it will work with local Tasmanian engineering company pitt&sherry to tailor its delivery approach to the unique considerations of the region. According to ABEL Energy, the Bell Bay project will use 240 MW of renewable energy for water electrolysis to produce green hydrogen, which will then be combined with carbon from a biomass source to produce green methanol. The expected run time for the FEED stage of the project is 12 months, with the facility scheduled to commence green hydrogen production by 2028, according to the report.
