ABB has joined a pilot project designed to test the viability of commercialising the production of hydrogen from brown coal, its liquefaction and transportation from Australia to Japan . The Victorian project aims to turn Australia into a global leader in hydrogen production and generate AUD2bn ($ 1.4bn ) in exports. Energy firm Kawasaki Heavy Industries will offer automation, electrification and instrumentation support under contracts with both Japan and Japan . The project is considered to be one of the world’s first efforts to commercialise liquid hydrogen production and transportation. The project will test the production of hydrogen gas through brown coal gasification, the liquefaction of hydrogen gas, approaches to storage and transportation across the Asia-Pacific , and will begin approximately one year .
