Australia is on track to become a world leader in the production and export of clean hydrogen by 2030.

That’s the key finding of our first State of Hydrogen report. The report is a snapshot of Australia’s progress towards building a clean hydrogen industry since the National Hydrogen Strategy was launched in 2019.

Building a hydrogen industry will help us cut carbon emissions, create thousands of new jobs and boost economic activity in regional areas.

The report shows that:

• Australia is making significant progress on the priority actions of the National Hydrogen Strategy
• we have a world-leading pipeline of clean hydrogen projects
• the hydrogen industry is gaining global momentum, with Australia keeping up with and exceeding the pace of other countries
• strong cooperation between Australian governments, industry and international partners will help us become a world leader in hydrogen.

The report also highlights the challenges facing the emerging hydrogen industry in Australia and around the world. These include:

• building demand
• achieving low-cost production at scale
• reducing delivery costs.
