further to its announcement of 14 March, the Western Australian Government has released
a Media Statement in recognition of Frontier’s landmark agreement with Water Corporation
for water supply to the Company’s proposed Bristol Springs Solar green hydrogen production
Project (“Project”).
The Company is pleased to see such strong government recognition of the importance of
the Project and the landmark nature of the water supply agreement with Water Corporation.
The Company looks forward to a strong working relationship with Water Corporation and are
proud to be part of such a historic key step of securing water and progressing one of the first,
low-cost renewable hydrogen projects in Australia, while also creating around 300 new jobs
during construction and around 50 additional positions during production in the Waroona
region of South-West WA.
Comments attributed to Hydrogen Industry Minister Roger Cook:
"The Bristol Springs Project is a fantastic example of a WA firm leading the way to becoming
one of the lowest cost producers of Australian-made renewable hydrogen.
The McGowan Government is committed to assisting such emerging hydrogen production
projects, as we work to establish WA as a significant producer, exporter and user of
renewable hydrogen.
Renewable hydrogen will be critical for hard-to-abate sectors, such as industrial processing
and transport, to reduce their emissions and help the State achieve net zero greenhouse gas
emissions by 2050."
Comments attributed to Water Minister Simone McGurk:
"Comprising two parts hydrogen, water is essential for renewable hydrogen production and
Water Corporation's long-term supply agreement with Frontier Energy is a win-win, and an
important milestone in developing the renewable hydrogen industry in WA.
In one of the most climate-impacted regions on earth, renewable hydrogen will help
decarbonise WA and support a strong, resilient, and diversified economy.
I commend Water Corporation for supporting what is expected to be one of the first, lowcost commercial renewable hydrogen projects in Australia."
