Submission to National Hydrogen Strategy Renewable Hydrogen: an enormous opportunity for Australia (March 2019)

Hydrogen has been getting a lot of attention recently, touted as a solution to everything from green steel to cleaning up gas networks. How can we make sure we’re making the most of hydrogen’s decarbonising potential without providing a cover to fossil gas companies? Submissions to strategies, inquiries and consultation In recognition of Australia’s natural advantages in the production of hydrogen, the National processes are another way Hydrogen Strategy is being drafted to support the BZE translates our research development of a domestic industry. into real world impact.
