The commitment of another US$82 million for two hydrogen hubs in the Hunter Region, Australia, underlines the area’s strategic advantages in the move to a net zero economy, the Australian Hydrogen Council (AHC) says.
The recent Federal Budget committed US$100 million for early works to make the Port of Newcastle hydrogen-ready.
The Coalition has pledged another US$41 million to the Port of Newcastle and a further US$41 million for Origin Energy’s hydrogen hub.
AHC CEO, Dr Fiona Simon, said co-locating hydrogen users and producers in areas with access to port, road and rail infrastructure is an important step forward for the hydrogen industry.
In recent weeks funding has been announced for hubs in Gladstone and Townsville in Queensland, Kwinana and The Pilbara in Western Australia, and Darwin in the Northern Territory.
