Construction has commenced on a cutting-edge hydrogen information centre in Gladstone, Australia, reinforcing the city's position as a prominent player in the hydrogen industry. The community-driven initiative, a collaboration between CQUniversity, the Queensland Government, and various stakeholders, aims to promote awareness and understanding of renewable hydrogen as a clean energy alternative. Gladstone, known for housing a significant portion of Queensland's hydrogen projects, is poised to capitalize on the forecasted $33 billion hydrogen market by 2040, creating numerous skilled job opportunities. The state-of-the-art information centre, located at the Gladstone Marina Campus, will serve as a focal point for educating residents on hydrogen production and usage, showcasing the region's role in driving the renewable energy sector. In addition, the center will facilitate research projects to enhance community knowledge and confidence in hydrogen as a reliable energy source. The partnership between Stanwell Corporation and CQUniversity includes the funding of a Professorial Chair of Hydrogen, aimed at supporting applied research to propel Queensland's hydrogen industry forward. This collaboration underscores the commitment to advancing the hydrogen sector, with a particular focus on the Central Queensland Hydrogen Hub. Quotes from local officials and industry leaders highlight the positive impact of the hydrogen initiatives in Gladstone, emphasizing the creation of jobs, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. The project also aligns with government objectives to promote renewable energy and strengthen regional economies.
