Port of Newcastle Clean Energy Precinct

The Port of Newcastle Clean Energy Precinct is located in the Hunter region and is currently in the planning stage. Co-located with the Port of Newcastle and other renewable projects, the Precinct is situated to take advantage of international export markets and increase global opportunity in the region to meet new decarbonising industry demands.  

The Precinct will also drive economic diversification in the Hunter, positioning the region to lead the production, storage and export of green hydrogen and green ammonia. The project is expected to generate 5,800 jobs and save one million tonnes per annum of potential emissions as a result of the green product exports.
