There is significant momentum in Australia to develop a hydrogen production industry. The Australian economy is highly reliant on fossil fuel exports and hydrogen is seen as a pathway to decarbonise Australia’s economy and as a source of ongoing export revenue in future years. Although not readily available in its natural form, hydrogen can be produced as a gas and used for a variety of everyday tasks and industrial uses: heating and cooking, transportation, alternative feedstock in industry, and energy storage. This talk provides a 101 on hydrogen and maps out a vision of hydrogen production in Australia.
