This could explain why, I think it was JF, said the hydrogen project could be up and running before Mt Peake. Maybe most if not all of the funds to build will be coming from the government?
"Australia is making critical investments to build these regional industries right around the country (Figure ES.5). We are investing over $1.2 billion in Australia’s hydrogen industry, including $464 million in 7 clean hydrogen industrial hubs. This will help grow a new hydrogen export industry and create local manufacturing jobs associated with low carbon products like ammonia, fertilizer, steel and aluminium. We are also investing over $300 million for carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) technologies, projects and hubs."
