Hydrogen generation requires water, whether using electrolysis with renewable energy or steam methane reforming (SMR) of gas 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 of 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). Nine aquifers from the Galilee and overlying Eromanga and the Lake Eyre basins are included in the assessment. The Galilee Basin region has low renewable hydrogen potential except for small areas in the north, south 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 Galilee Basin contains modest contingent gas resources, while sizeable gas reserves and contingent resources were identified in the overlying Eromanga Basin (Geoscience Australia, 2022). The geological CO2 storage assessment suggests that the Betts Creek - Rewan Play interval is the most prospective for CCS, with the highest potential around the central basin region. Further work on identifying detailed gas potential is needed to assess hydrogen generation potential from gas. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[140.0, -28.0], [149.0, -28.0], [149.0, -19.0], [140.0, -19.0], [140.0, -28.0]]]} 140.0 149.0 -28.0 -19.0 Australia EARTH SCIENCES Galilee Basin Geology Hydrogen Hydrogen potential Published_External TEGI Trusted environmental and geological information Download the Report (zip) [1.42 MB] documentDigital Download the Report (zip) [1.42 MB] ZIP Download the ESRI File Geodatabase (zip) [3.04 MB] documentDigital Download the ESRI File Geodatabase (zip) [3.04 MB] ZIP Download the Shapefiles (zip) [3.04 MB] documentDigital Download the Shapefiles (zip) [3.04 MB] ZIP Galilee Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential MapServer documentDigital Galilee Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential MapServer HTML Galilee Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential WMS documentDigital Galilee Basin Region - Hydrogen Potential WMS WMS
