2025 Center for Hydrogen Safety Asia-Pacific Conference

Operational Readiness: Lessons Learned from Australian Hydrogen Projects.

Authors

Amarna Energy is a specialist consultancy, successfully delivering and supporting renewable hydrogen projects across Australia. This presentation examines the complexities of managing hydrogen-specific equipment suppliers, ensuring compliance with stringent safety, documentation, and operational requirements to facilitate a seamless transition into training, maintenance, and operations.

We address the unique challenges suppliers face in meeting the expectations of early adopters, particularly within the Australian regulatory and market context. This presentation provides strategic insights and best practices for effective project integration, including:

  • Aligning expectations on technology readiness levels
  • Adapting risk management systems to regulatory requirements
  • Defining best practices for design and implementation
  • Upskilling the existing workforce

By applying these strategies, we aim to enhance the safe and efficient integration of hydrogen technologies, reducing overall project costs for end clients while supporting a sustainable energy transition.
