Australia, a major natural gas exporter, is gearing up to enter the green hydrogen market by the end of the decade. With significant government incentives and an aim to unlock substantial private investment, the country aims to produce at least 500,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2030. This initiative is crucial for cutting emissions in industries like steelmaking, where green hydrogen could play a significant role. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, Australia views green hydrogen as a key component in achieving net zero goals and driving new opportunities in manufacturing and energy exports. The updated National Hydrogen Strategy outlines ambitious objectives to make the industry cost-competitive and identify high-demand sectors. Collaborations with countries like Germany further highlight the international interest in Australian hydrogen projects, indicating a positive outlook for the country's green hydrogen ambitions.
