Bp Takes Control Of AREH-- Australia's Largest Renewables Project

• AREH is expected to have a complete generation capacity of 26 GW.
• It has the possible to abate about 17 million tonnes of carbon dioxide that would certainly otherwise be generated in the residential and also as well as export markets each year.

The project will be creating onshore wind and solar energy to enhance the reason for green energy manufacturing in various stages. The project will certainly additionally see the production of green hydrogen and also ammonia for the market in the region as well as mines. The item will additionally be exported to significant markets internationally.

AREH is expected to have an overall generation capacity of 26 GW. When operational at complete scale, the total power produced will amount to around 1.6 million tonnes of green hydrogen each year. This additionally relates to about 9 million tonnes of green ammonia each year.
