An Australia-EU hydrogen corridor will require significant expansion of export and import infrastructure
Australia can meet EU hydrogen import target – taskforce
But transporting sufficient green hydrogen supplies between the two will require significant expansion of export and import infrastructure, report says
Australia can meet all of the EU’s target for 10mn t/yr of hydrogen imports by 2030 as long as certification is agreed in a timely fashion and governments continue to provide financial support for infrastructure deployment, according to a report by the Green Hydrogen Taskforce. The taskforce is a collaboration between Australian green hydrogen producer Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and leading German companies including chemicals firm Covestro, utility Eon, industrial gases firm Linde, engineering company Luthardt, software manufacturer SAP, auto-maker Schaeffler and steel manufacturer Thyssenkrupp. The taskforce’s White Paper and Action Plan finds there is 5mn t/yr of demand already fro
