Viva Energy's Geelong FSRU received federal environmental approval in April 2026, with construction expected to commence in the second half of 2026 and commissioning before projected Victorian gas shortfalls materialise from 2028. The terminal is sized to supply more than 120 petajoules per year, with peak capacity of up to 750 TJ per day. Other FSRU projects at Port Kembla, Outer Harbor, and Port Phillip Bay are progressing, creating demand for cryogenic pumps, vaporisers, boil-off-gas management systems, and safety equipment.
• Hydrogen blending is moving from demonstration to network-scale deployment. AGIG's Hydrogen Park Gladstone has been supplying the entire existing natural gas distribution network with a blend of up to 10% renewable hydrogen since November 2024, while Hydrogen Park South Australia will increase blending to up to 15% from April 2026. Hydrogen Park Adelaide is proposing a 60 MW electrolyser and a dedicated 7-kilometre hydrogen pipeline to blend up to 20% into Adelaide's network, supplying over 450,000 customers.
• Biomethane is gaining regulatory recognition and commercial traction. The revised gas standard now recognises biomethane as a natural gas equivalent, clearing the path for grid injection at scale. ARENA is funding the Horsley Park Bioenergy Project in Western Sydney, which will process 120,000 tonnes of organic waste annually to produce renewable biomethane for industrial brick manufacturing. Optimal Renewable Gas secured a $20 million grant for a $58 million biomethane hub in Griffith, NSW, with construction scheduled for late 2026.

Market Outlook

• Pipeline transportation will remain the largest equipment opportunity. Jemena has announced plans to seek regulatory approval for a 400-kilometre pipeline linking the Beetaloo Basin to the Northern Gas Pipeline, which currently transports approximately 90 TJ per day and could be boosted to 130 TJ per day through compression upgrades. APA Group is advancing the proposed North to East Australia Pipeline, a ~1,600-kilometre project that was declared a Coordinated Project in September 2026, with construction potentially commencing as early as 2029.
• LNG import infrastructure is creating a new equipment market. Viva Energy's Geelong FSRU will require cryogenic pumps, vaporisers, loading systems, and metering. The Port Kembla FSRU, with regasification capacity of 130 petajoules per year and storage of 170,000 cubic metres, has appointed Reganosa Servicios to operate its onshore facilities. These projects create demand for equipment capable of reliable operation across changing LNG sourcing conditions and seasonal peak supply.
• Hydrogen infrastructure is generating early-stage demand for specialised equipment. APA Group plans to convert a 43-kilometre section of the Parmelia Gas Pipeline in Western Australia into a 100% hydrogen-ready transmission pipeline. Epic Energy is designing the Whyalla Hydrogen Pipeline, a 22.5-kilometre buried and looped dual pipeline with compression facilities for storage and transportation of hydrogen. The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub reached Final Investment Decision in July 2026, with first production targeted for early 2029.
• Biomethane projects are creating a decentralised equipment market. The Horsley Park facility will transport approximately 253,161 GJ of renewable biomethane annually via a dedicated pipeline to the Brickworks plant. The Griffith biomethane hub will convert agricultural waste from the Riverina region. Delorean's SA1 facility in South Australia is designed to process 70,000 tonnes of organic waste and produce up to 210 terajoules of renewable natural gas per year, exporting biomethane into the Adelaide gas network under a long-term offtake agreement with Origin Energy.

Policies & Regulatory Landscape

• Australian gas infrastructure operates under a national technical-regulatory system with state-based administration. The revised AS/NZS 5601.1 (Gas installations) was published with significant changes including new definitions for fire safety systems and ignition sources, prohibition on brazing within one metre of joints with non-metallic components, and new requirements for isolation in educational institutions and commercial kitchens. A new version of AS/NZS 1596 (Gas storage and handling) becomes mandatory from 27 August 2026. The two-year transition period for gas valves being updated to AS4629 certifications concludes on 31 December 2026.
• The Domestic Gas Reservation Scheme is reshaping supply obligations. Recent policy updates require future LNG projects to reserve 20% of extracted gas for domestic usage. This has increased the strategic importance of pipeline infrastructure connecting remote production to domestic markets. Jemena's proposed Beetaloo pipeline is explicitly positioned to help producers satisfy federal domestic supply mandates while stabilising Australia's east coast grid.
• Hydrogen regulation is advancing through a National Hydrogen Regulatory Guidebook for pipelines. Currently, there is no hydrogen transport in high-pressure pipelines, but it is being blended at 10% into low-pressure distribution pipelines in several locations. The guidebook introduced a specific hydrogen blending limit of 10% by volume for distribution networks. AEMO's 2026 Integrated System Plan panel recommended reviewing assumptions about hydrogen limits in reticulated gas networks.

Gas Equipment Procurement & Industry Impact

• Local service capability and technical qualification are increasingly important differentiators. The distributed nature of Australia's gas infrastructure—spanning remote Beetaloo Basin production, coastal LNG terminals, urban distribution networks, and emerging hydrogen and biomethane injection points—requires suppliers with regional service networks, spare-parts availability, and commissioning support. Equipment for regulated projects must comply with Australian standards including AS/NZS 5601, AS/NZS 1596, and AS4629, with certification determining eligibility for major projects.
• Replacement demand is substantial across Australia's mature gas network. The Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline System, operated by Epic Energy and recently acquired by Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, has been in service for more than 50 years and is one of only two transmission systems supplying the Adelaide region. This creates continuing demand for valves, regulators, meters, compressors, and integrity-management technologies as operators manage ageing assets and comply with evolving safety standards.
• Hydrogen and biomethane projects require a different procurement model. Unlike centralised transmission projects, hydrogen blending facilities and biomethane plants are distributed across urban and regional locations, often integrated with existing industrial or wastewater infrastructure. Hydrogen Park Adelaide will utilise recycled water from SA Water's wastewater treatment plant. The Horsley Park Bioenergy Project is located behind the meter at an industrial manufacturing site. This favours modular, pre-engineered equipment packages with remote monitoring and local maintenance capability.
