The South Australian Government has achieved a milestone in their Hydrogen Jobs Plan near Whyalla with the environmental approval granted under the EPBC Act. The project had previously obtained development approval in July and underwent assessments by regulatory agencies at State and Commonwealth levels. Sam Crafter, the chief executive of the Office of Hydrogen Power SA, praised the project's progress and the stringent environmental protections in place. He emphasized the importance of balancing renewable energy development with conservation efforts to drive employment opportunities and innovation in Whyalla while preserving the region's biodiversity. The approval reflects a commitment to responsible renewable energy development. Those interested can find more information on the project approval conditions on the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water website.
