The Australian Government has introduced the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive (HPTI) as part of the 2024–25 Federal Budget's Future Made in Australia package to support and incentivize the production of renewable hydrogen. The HPTI Consultation Paper, released on 28 June 2024, invites feedback on the proposed design and administrative arrangements before 12 July 2024. The incentive aims to drive renewable hydrogen production with a refundable tax offset of $2 per kilogram produced between 2027-28 and 2039-40, supporting eligible producers for up to 10 years. To qualify for the HPTI, entities must meet specific eligibility criteria such as operating a qualifying facility in Australia, using clean energy regulators, maintaining low emissions intensity, and adhering to community benefit principles. The HPTI is designed to attract investment in Australia's hydrogen sector and promote industrial decarbonization globally. Notable features include simplified matching requirements, emissions intensity standards, and alignment with Community Benefit Principles. Producers are encouraged to understand the Guarantee of Origin certification scheme and align with the Community Benefit Principles for eligibility. The HPTI aims to boost local communities, diverse workforces, and ensure tax transparency. By offering both financial incentives and environmental benefits, the HPTI seeks to accelerate the growth of renewable hydrogen projects in Australia.
