The Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH), planned in Western Australia, will be among the largest green energy projects on the planet. Spread over 15,000 km² of land, this megaproject will include 25 million solar panels and 3,000 wind turbines, designed to produce green hydrogen on an unprecedented scale. With the growing global demand for sustainable energy, GHG has the potential to transform energy markets and stimulate regional economies. The project is being developed by InterContinental Energy, CWR Global and Morning Green Energy, with the ambition to generate 50 GW of combined wind and solar power. This energy will be converted into 3.5 million tons of green hydrogen annually – a fuel that could replace fossil fuels in shipping, steelmaking and other industries, EcoNews reports.

The facility will be larger than existing renewable energy projects. The electricity generated will be used to produce green hydrogen, which does not emit greenhouse gases. The project also includes innovative hydrogen and ammonia storage facilities, ensuring efficiency and scalability. In this way, WGEN will support the transition to clean energy sources and establish Australia as a key global exporter of green hydrogen.

WGEN aims to collaborate with the indigenous population in the area where the innovation hub is located. The Miring Traditional Lands Corporation owns 10% of the project, ensuring that local communities will benefit economically. In addition, the project will create thousands of jobs and provide long-term economic opportunities for the region, as it promises to preserve cultural heritage.

The first production from the WGEN is expected to begin in 2025, with full capacity to be reached by 2032. The project will set new standards for renewable energy, challenging industries and governments to accelerate decarbonization. WGEN is not just an energy project, but a vision for a future in which clean energy drives the global economy, without compromising the environment.
