The Albanese government in Australia has unveiled a new hydrogen production strategy, building on the 2019 version inherited from the coalition. At the Asia-Pacific Hydrogen Summit in Brisbane, Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen highlighted the country's commitment to green hydrogen, setting a target of producing 15mt/year by 2050, with a stretch goal of 30mt/year. This ambitious plan includes a certification scheme to prove the renewable origin of hydrogen exports, aiming to secure Australia's position in the global market. Short-term goals focus on achieving 200,000t/year of exports by 2030, with a stretch target of 1.2mt/year. The strategy anticipates substantial CO2 emission reductions as hydrogen becomes a primary energy source. The industry's growth potential is emphasized, despite challenges in cost competitiveness. Australia's proactive approach aligns with the goals of key trade partners, signaling a promising future for renewable hydrogen production and export.
