Element Resources chooses Chart hydrogen technology

Element has been asked to produce over 20 000 t of renewable green hydrogen annually through its first phase, making it one of the largest green hydrogen projects in the state.

The LCEC has been targeted to begin commercial operations in 2026 and will operate off-grid, using dedicated photo voltaic (PV) solar to power Element’s electrolysers to produce zero-emission, renewable hydrogen. The increased hydrogen production capacity will serve the growing demand for clean mobility fuels as well as clean energy for manufacturing.

Chart's scope for the project included hydrogen liquefaction plants utilising Chart’s hydrogen refrigeration technology, cold box design, and the associated rotating equipment and compression for storage, distribution and heavy duty fuelling. Also included are liquid hydrogen storage tanks, and trailer load-out bays, as well as liquid hydrogen transports and ISO Containers.

“Element is pleased to have reached an agreement with Chart Industries for the hydrogen handling equipment and systems downstream of the electrolysers through loading for distribution, we are pleased to have a supplier that designs, engineers and builds in-house essentially all of the hydrogen liquefaction, storage and handling equipment which significantly simplifies the procurement, construction and operation of the plant and facilities,” stated Steve Meheen, Element Resources CEO.

“We are proud to be a partner to Element Resources as they execute on their strategic global buildout in the hydrogen industry,” stated Jill Evanko, Chart’s CEO and President. “Chart’s complete suite of hydrogen offerings is helping Element Resources drive the energy transition forward.”
