QEM, the developer of the Julia Creek shale oil and vanadium project in northern Queensland, says it will explore the possibility of making its own renewable hydrogen, which it would then use to process raw oil.
It’s an unusual use of green hydrogen, a carbon-free, renewably-generated fuel normally associated with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and so tackle climate change.
In this case, though, it would be supporting the production of a carbon-heavy fossil fuel, an irony similar to using captured Co2 to increase production from depleted oil wells.
QEM said in a statement it had begun a study into the possibility of building its own solar generation capacity, and using that to turn water into hydrogen using electrolysis.

Craig Kelly s resignation from the Liberal Party has damaged the Coalition s majority in government. The controversial backbencher made the announcement at a joint party room meeting on Tuesday morning, bringing the government s majority to a single vote. Mr Katter s vote is now more important than ever in this term of government. The long-serving politician has already laid his demands on the table in exchange for his support for Prime Minister Scott Morrison. But he says the support is from the Prime Minister, not the Liberal party. Mr Katter will use his new power to ensure CopperString 2.0 and Hells Gate Dam go ahead as they should.
