Tasmanian Government recognises great potential for hydrogen

According to the Government, the area includes an advanced manufacturing zone, access to renewable energy, appropriate infrastructure, water availability in addition to port access to export the clean energy carrier.

This could enable the rapid scaling of the Tasmanian hydrogen industry and enable the area to become a leading region in the Australian hydrogen market.

According to the Tasmanian Liberal Government, the island is leading the area for several renewable technologies in the nation including green hydrogen production and its integration.

The Premier additionally outlined aspirations to expand investment in green hydrogen to take a larger section of the Australian hydrogen market in order to decarbonise several hard-to-abate industries.

For this, the Government has made up to AUS$12.3m ($8.95m) available for the trial of green hydrogen buses and the investigation of opportunities to use green hydrogen for trucking and marine vessels.

Metro Tasmania has also started working on the integration of green hydrogen into its fleet, and the development of refuelling infrastructure and hydrogen supply chains.
