This government is investing $2 billion in the Hydrogen Headstart program to bridge the commercial gap between the cost of hydrogen production from renewables and its current market price for early projects. It aims to support two to three flagship large-scale projects to deliver up to a gigawatt of electrolyser capacity by 2030. In turn, Australia will be able to take advantage of the immense jobs and investment potential of the technology. This is about secure jobs with a long-term future and Australia being a global leader in hydrogen.
