Our Projects | Lochard Energy

In a strong position for the transition

Beyond the operation, maintenance and projects relating to our Iona Facility, Lochard Energy is developing projects to support the transition to a lower carbon future.

We are developing sustainable solutions to Australia’s energy trends, in both the electricity and transport markets, and we are strongly positioned to do so.

In 2018, our energy development team was established and are skilled in the development, construction, operation and maintenance of renewable energy infrastructure.

We envision the next generation of energy infrastructure be built on our financial strength, as well as our expertise in handling hazardous substances, delivering energy infrastructure projects and managing their operations and maintenance.

These projects have the potential to provide our customers with low carbon, or even zero carbon, energy solutions, that are delivered safely and with price and volume certainty.

Energy Reserve 1

We are developing the Energy Reserve 1 project as a fast-start, dispatchable power generation facility, to help provide capacity security, in a world of increasing intermittent renewable energy supply

H2REFUEL

We are leading the H2REFUEL initiative, to develop bulk renewable hydrogen production and refuelling infrastructure and help decarbonise and improve fuel security in the transport sector

Heytesbury Underground Gas Storage

Our proposed Heytesbury Underground Gas Storage (HUGS) Project will expand the storage capacity of the Iona Gas Storage Facility, providing additional security of supply and reliability to the growing energy demands of the eastern Australian energy market.

H2RESTORE

Exploring opportunities to repurpose the Iona reservoirs to help restore the planet through underground hydrogen storage
