The Australian Government has proposed the AUD $22.7bn Future Made in Australia (FMIA) package, featuring AUD $6.7bn in green hydrogen tax incentives, to stimulate investments in manufacturing and clean energy. The bill, now in Parliament for debate, includes the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive scheme offering producers AUD $2/kg of green hydrogen for a decade. Additionally, a $2bn fund for the Hydrogen Headstart round aims to support developers in addressing market price gaps. Prime Minister Albanese views the package as essential for driving Net Zero goals and enhancing economic resilience. Industry response has been positive, with Andrew Morris from Austrade emphasizing the competitive edge it provides Australian companies. However, Fortescue Energy's CEO, Mark Hutchinson, stresses the need for practical implementation to ensure the effectiveness of the policies. He warns against overly rigid criteria that could impede the industry's growth, advocating for flexibility to foster a sustainable hydrogen sector in Australia.
