Utilising domestic expertise combined with proven performance in significant and large scale project development and delivery, LINE Hydrogen draws on its years of expertise to deliver one of the first large scale, commercial GREEN H2 production in 2025. Taking its wealth of knowledge in designing, building, constructing and operating large scale projects, and applying it to hydrogen production underpins the business model and commercial drivers of the LINE Hydrogen projects.
The George Town Project (Tasmania)
Commissioning in mid to late 2025 (subject to capital raising) with a capacity of 1.69t H2/day, the George Town project, near Bell Bay, Tasmania, will grow to 14.9t H2/day over 9 years, targeting delivery of low cost Hydrogen into Tasmania’s heavy haulage fleets, light vehicle fleets, and mobile power providers.
Behind the meter colocation with partner Climate Capital, The Bell Bay Solar Farm will be Tasmania’s first utility scale solar farm providing a sustainable, long-term source of emission-free electricity.
Heavy Vehicle Green Hydrogen Production Hub Projects: NSW Midstate Operations (2026) and SE Queensland Operations (2027)
The George Town project represents a scalable, low-capital approach designed for replication across Australia's major heavy haulage routes. With an emphasis on regional production hubs, this model aims to supply green hydrogen within a 300 km radius of each production site. After George Town, the next production hub will be located in New South Wales' Central West (Dubbo region), with plans for initial hydrogen production by mid-2026. Following this, a hub in South East Queensland (Toowoomba region) is scheduled to begin hydrogen production in 2027.
The long-term goal is to establish a network of production hubs along Australia’s key heavy transport corridors, positioning LINE Hydrogen as a leading supplier for the Australian Hydrogen Highwayinitiative.
The Mulgabbie Gold Project (Western Australia): 50% Equity, 100%Green Hydrogen Supply
The Mulgabbie Gold Joint Venture Project Development Agreement was signed with OzAurum in October 2024, marking the beginning of development for the Mulgabbie Gold Project as Australia’s first zero-emissions gold operation.
LINE Hydrogen holds a 50% equity stake, which includes the option to forward-sell gold. This offers access to traditional capital-raising mechanisms specific to gold producers. Revenue from forward sales and operational cash flow will support the acceleration of LINE Hydrogen’s project pipeline. Additionally, as the project’s sole green hydrogen provider, LINE Hydrogen will establish a green hydrogen production hub in Kalgoorlie, one of Australia’s largest diesel markets.
The Stage 1 Scoping Study results focus on an initial production of 60,000 ounces from a 260,000-ounce resource, showcasing a high return with potential for expansion. The open-cut heap-leach method enables low capital costs to reach initial production.
LINE Hydrogen’s expertise in mining project development, bolstered by BIM Metals, equips the company to effectively advance this project, targeting first operations circa mid 2026.
The open-cut mining operations at Mulgabbie, powered by green hydrogen, will replace over 2.5 million litres of diesel annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Hydrogen Heavy Vehicles (HHV) Project
The technology is now available to transition heavy haulage vehicles from diesel to green hydrogen power. LINE Hydrogen has developed proprietary hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE)technology that will soon enter the market as part of our George Town project, targeting first roll-out mid 2025. These hydrogen ICEs can operate on green hydrogen with minimal to no CO₂ emissions.
Unlike traditional fuels, hydrogen does not produce particulate matter, carbon monoxide, or volatile organic compounds. While historically there was potential for NOₓ emissions from Hydrogen ICE’s, these are now effectively controlled through optimized air/fuel ratios, cylinder temperature management, and, when necessary, after-treatment systems.
Hydrogen engines are based on familiar, modern internal combustion technology, making them low cost, and accessible to manufacturers and fleet operators. LINE Hydrogen is actively working on patenting its highly efficient, in-house developed hydrogen ICE technology.
Equipment Manufacturing
Our manufacturing strategy will challenge the status quo, and change the game by providing domestically manufactured equipment necessary to roll out and utilise green renewable hydrogen and emissions-free fuel across Australia. LINE Hydrogen is collaborating with academic and industrial partners to realise our vision of a domestic green hydrogen equipment manufacturing industry, by bringing manufacturing capability together with the IP and ideas to deliver Australian made products, and ensure sovereign capability to support and develop a hydrogen industry in Australia. LINE Hydrogen is also developing its own range of low-cost, very low NOx hydrogen combustion engines to broaden green hydrogen’s application in heavy haulage, particularly in long-haul applications above 49t GCM, and for applications more challenging outback environments, where hydrogen internal combustion engines offer a number of advantages.
