Green hydrogen funding a step forward – but a step doesn’t win race
It sounds like a lot. Kickstarting green hydrogen in Australia with $2 billion (USD 1.35 billion) to subsidise early production and making the energy-dense gas competitive. A goal of up to a gigawatt of electrolyser capacity within seven years. May 11, 2023 Kondo-Francois Aguey-Zinsou Two years ago, the hydrogen announcement in Tuesday night’s federal budget might

The Queensland government has bought a Hyundai Nexo fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) for its Brisbane police
Could the world’s largest coal exporting port, Newcastle, be home to the next green hydrogen hub?
Following a funding announcement from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), a $3 million feasibility study led by Port of Newcastle and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group is set to determine whether Newcastle, the world’s largest coal exporting port, has the potential for a green hydrogen hub. The world’s largest coal exporting port, Newcastle, New South
HYZON’S FIRST HYDROGEN-POWERED BUS DEBUTS IN AUSTRALIA
AUSTRALIA’s first hydrogen fuel-cell-electric coach has hit Australian roads and is on display, following an official joint Hyzon-BLK Auto launch function in Brisbane, Queensland, recently. October 26, 2021 Hyzon partnered with leading bus and coach chassis builder BLK Auto to produce the 50-seat coach – made from Australian steel – which has a range of
Why the NSW hydrogen strategy is ‘smarter’ in its $80 billion industry proposition
The New South Wales government at long last released its hydrogen strategy today. The wait, according to hydrogen expert Andrew Horvath, has been worthwhile. He described the strategy as clever in its approach to drawing longterm hydrogen investment into the state. “It’s a little bit different the way [NSW] looked at it,” he told pv
NSW to halve emissions by 2030, injecting ‘transformative’ $37 billion into clean energy
New South Wales, Australia’s most populous state and largest economy, has upped the green ante, today setting a new target which will see it rival clean energy powerhouse South Australia.

How Europe’s carbon border tax will affect Australia
Europe plans to introduce a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in two years, requiring importers to pay a carbon price on steel, iron, aluminium, cement, electricity and fertiliser initially. Experts explain what the changes will mean for Australia’s export future, and just how little the legality debate matters. The European Commission tabled a proposal for the
