The Australian Hydrogen Conference commenced today in Sydney, coinciding with an announcement of two new hydrogen clusters in the Gladstone and Toowoomba regions of Queensland by National Energy Resources Australia (NERA).
The event explores the developing hydrogen industry in Australia, including its potential as an export market. A growing sector, the event arrives just over a month after the Federal Government announced nearly $540 million in funding for new hydrogen and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) projects.
The debate around hydrogen's role in the future of fuel is quickly evolving as the world works towards a cleaner energy future.Australian projects such as Woodside Energy's H2TAS project in Tasmania, Petrofac's Arrowsmith project in Western Australia, and Strike Energy's Haber project, also in WA, show how Australian oil and gas companies are investing in the technology.
The Australian Hydrogen Conference takes place today and tomorrow both virtually and at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.
