Amidst setbacks faced by the Central Queensland Hydrogen Project following a funding rejection by the state government, other green hydrogen ventures in Western Australia and Tasmania continue to forge ahead with their ambitious plans. While over 140 individuals were laid off due to the Queensland government's decision not to support the project, the industry in other regions remains steadfast in its commitment to the development of green hydrogen. The Crisafulli government's move to reject the funding request for the CQ-H2 venture, which was nearing financial close in mid-2025, came as a shock to the industry. However, this setback has not dampened the spirits of green hydrogen proponents in Western Australia and Tasmania, who are resolutely pushing forward with their multibillion-dollar projects. Despite the challenges faced by the sector, the overall sentiment remains positive, with a focus on contributing to Australia's energy transition and sustainable development goals.
