Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure believes there should be “room for everyone” in Australia to produce green hydrogen, chief executive Anthony Timbrell said after the coal export terminal delivered a first-half net profit of $113.2 million.

DBI already had an established deep-water port at a closer shipping distance to Asia than some other green hydrogen proposals being contemplated around Australia, but it did not expect competition to be an issue, Mr Timbrell said.
