Australia aims to be a major hydrogen exporter
Australia slips behind on hydrogen deployment
While the country was one of the first to publish a national hydrogen strategy and has more than 106 operational or planned projects, it trails other nations on large-scale projects reaching FID
Australia has seen its hydrogen project pipeline flourish to 106 operational or planned projects over the past year, with 64 announced—including 11 at gigawatt-scale—since the publication of the government’s 2021 State of Hydrogen report. In the latest version of the report, published in mid-April, the government estimates that Australia’s hydrogen project pipeline could leverage investment capital of A$230–300bn ($153–200bn). However, the vast majority of Australia’s ten operational green hydrogen projects are below 1MW in capacity, with the 1.25MW electrolyser at Hydrogen Park South Australia the largest.
