Hydrogen generation requires water, whether using electrolysis with renewable energy or steam methane reforming (SMR) with CCS. The data package includes the regional renewable energy capacity factor, aquifers and their properties (potential yield, salinity, and reserves or storativity), natural gas resources, and geological storage potential for carbon dioxide (CO2). This data guide gives examples of how the compiled data can be used. The renewable hydrogen potential is assessed based on renewable energy capacity factor and groundwater information (potential yield, salinity, and reserves or storativity). Eight aquifers from overlying basins (Galilee, Eromanga and Lake Eyre basins) are included in the assessment. The Adavale Basin region has low renewable hydrogen potential, except for some locations in the south-east and south-west. Although the renewable energy capacity factor in the basin is high, aquifers tend to have poor groundwater reserves or storativity, which results in lower overall renewable hydrogen potential. The Adavale Basin itself has no newly identified gas accumulation. However, gas reserves and contingent resources were identified in the overlying Galilee and Eromanga basins (Geoscience Australia, 2022). An assessment of CO2 geological storage also shows prospective storage areas in the Eromanga Basin within the Adavale Basin region (Bradshaw et al., 2023). Further work on identifying detailed gas potential is needed to assess hydrogen generation potential from gas. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[143.0, -28.0], [148.0, -28.0], [148.0, -23.0], [143.0, -23.0], [143.0, -28.0]]]} 143.0 148.0 -28.0 -23.0 Adavale Basin Australia EARTH SCIENCES Geology Hydrogen Hydrogen potential Published_External TEGI Trusted environmental and geological information Download the Report (zip) [1.31 MB] documentDigital Download the Report (zip) [1.31 MB] ZIP Download the ESRI File Geodatabase (zip) [1.29 MB] documentDigital Download the ESRI File Geodatabase (zip) [1.29 MB] ZIP Download the Shapefiles (zip) [1.28 MB] documentDigital Download the Shapefiles (zip) [1.28 MB] ZIP Adavale Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential MapServer documentDigital Adavale Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential MapServer HTML Adavale Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential WMS documentDigital Adavale Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential WMS WMS
