Zinfra Secures Landmark Partnership with Summit Hydrogen Gladstone

Zinfra has secured a major operations and maintenance contract with Summit Hydrogen Gladstone, a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation, marking a pivotal step forward in Australia’s renewable energy transition.

The partnership centres around a first-of-its-kind hydrogen production facility in Yarwun, near Gladstone. Co-funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Federal Government’s Regional Hydrogen Hubs Program, the plant will play a key role in reducing carbon emissions at Rio Tinto’s Yarwun alumina refinery by trialling hydrogen in the calcination process, a world-first in industrial hydrogen use.
