Our story

CQ-H2 is a global collaboration involving domestic and international partners from across the hydrogen supply chain who have come together to develop a global-scale renewable hydrogen project near Gladstone in Central Queensland. 

CQ-H2 will act as the catalyst for Australia’s hydrogen future by accelerating the decarbonisation of regional Australia, transitioning the economy away from emissions-intensive activity, anchoring regional economic transition in Central Queensland, and launching a new low carbon export industry.  

Consortium

The CQ-H2 consortium comprises Japanese foundation companies Iwatani Corporation (Iwatani) and Marubeni Corporation (Marubeni), Singapore’s Keppel Ltd’s Infrastructure Division (Keppel), and Australian energy company Stanwell Corporation Limited (Stanwell).  

Each consortium member possesses relevant experience, knowledge and strategic intent for the successful commercial-scale deployment of renewable hydrogen in Central Queensland.  

All consortium members are publicly listed entities, except Stanwell, which is a Queensland Government Owned Corporation.  

Australian chemicals manufacturer Incitec Pivot Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding in September 2024 with the intent to join the CQ-H2 consortium in support of renewable ammonia development.

Funders

In addition to consortium funding, CQ-H2 has also received financial support from the Australian Government’s Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Queensland Government’s Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund. 

Capabilities and interests

The CQ-H2 consortium members have a unique mix of competitive advantages to harness the potential of the project.
