Australia has unveiled an ambitious plan to become a leader in the global hydrogen market by targeting the production of 15 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2050, with a stretch goal of 30 million tonnes annually. The strategy, outlined in the National Hydrogen Strategy 2024, sets clear milestones for the industry's development over the coming decades. By 2030, Australia aims to produce 0.5-1.5 million tonnes of hydrogen, gradually increasing scale production and export in subsequent years. To support this growth, the government will implement various initiatives, including the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive and the Hydrogen Headstart program, which aim to provide financial support and bridge the cost-sale price gap for renewable hydrogen projects. The strategy identifies key sectors driving hydrogen demand such as green metals, ammonia, long-haul transport, and power generation. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between states, significant workforce engagement, and ongoing policy reviews to ensure successful implementation. The Hon. Chris Bowen, Minister for Climate Change and Energy, expressed confidence in Australia's potential to lead in hydrogen production, citing the country's innovation ecosystem, export experience, and reputation as a reliable trading partner.
