Abstract:
South Australia took the lead nationally in enabling exploration licences for natural hydrogen on 11 February 2021 when amendments to the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Regulations 2013 declared hydrogen, hydrogen compounds and by-products from hydrogen production ‘regulated substances’. Following on from this, seven companies have lodged over 40 applications for PELs targeting natural hydrogen over the State’s basins and crystalline basement provinces. PEL 687 is the first licence in Australia targeting natural hydrogen and was granted to first movers Gold Hydrogen Pty Ltd in July 2021 over Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. The second licence (PEL 691) was granted to H2EX in June 2022 over eastern Eyre Peninsula. An update will be given with respect to current exploration activities in both active licences and with reference to the current understanding of natural hydrogen prospectivity across South Australia.
