The re-elected Queensland Labor Government has announced plans to establish a $15 million skills and training facility in Townsville to support the green hydrogen industry workforce. This center will offer comprehensive training in plumbing, fire protection, and safety, including modules on working safely with hydrogen and other renewable gases. The initiative aligns with the government's goal to boost job growth in the region and complement critical minerals mining projects. Additionally, Pure Hydrogen, a clean energy company in Brisbane, has introduced Australia's first Hydrogen Fuel Cell Prime Mover in partnership with PepsiCo. The six-month trial aims to evaluate the commercial viability of hydrogen-powered vehicles, demonstrating Pure Hydrogen's commitment to innovation in the energy sector. These developments showcase a positive outlook for skills development, innovation, and economic growth in Queensland's clean energy industry.
