Peter Switzer: AWU lashes out at Twiggy Forrest over hydrogen prospects
The Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) has targeted the likes of iron ore billionaire Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest, claiming that their efforts to blacklist fossil fuel-based hydrogen energy “will cost investment and jobs, and cause Australia to miss out on a huge export opportunity,” the AFR reports.
The move follows the passing of a resolution at the AWU national conference in early August that supports the hydrogen industry in all its forms.
It calls on Australian governments “to reject a narrow green-focused hydrogen agenda” and instead prioritise the scaling-up of hydrogen this decade – “irrespective of type” – to maximise the opportunity for the hydrogen export economy.
