Engineers Australia and Deakin University have teamed up to introduce a suite of hydrogen energy micro-credentials aimed at upskilling the engineering workforce in Australia. This initiative, facilitated through Engineering Education Australia (EEA), is crucial for supporting the nation's transition to net zero emissions. The project, backed by federal government funding, targets professionals across various sectors to enhance their expertise in handling hydrogen, fuel cell operation, electrolyzers, and more. By addressing talent shortages in hydrogen engineering, the training suite intends to play a key role in advancing the hydrogen economy and meeting clean energy objectives. The partnership with Deakin University allows for specialized education catering to the specific needs of engineers in Australia's evolving energy landscape. The initiative, set to be completed by mid-2025, aligns with the urgency of developing hydrogen skills. Concurrently, the National Hydrogen Strategy outlines ambitious plans to promote domestic clean energy manufacturing and leverage export opportunities. With significant financial backing, programs like the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive and the Green Hydrogen Headstart program aim to accelerate investment, reduce costs, and drive substantial private sector involvement. The strategy's targets include surpassing 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with a long-term vision of achieving 15 million tonnes by 2050. Australia's proactive stance in the hydrogen sector has garnered global attention, with a multitude of projects and a considerable investment pipeline. Minister Chris Bowen highlights the strategic importance of these initiatives in signaling Australia's commitment to a hydrogen-powered future and fostering international partnerships in the clean energy domain.
