6 FAQs about [Hydrogen energy storage in australia]

Why is renewable hydrogen important in Australia?

Clean Energy Council promotes renewable hydrogen as a primary method of producing hydrogen in Australia due to its ability to provide a clean, emissions-free alternative energy to natural gas and other fossil fuels.

Should Australia use green hydrogen?

As Australia continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, green hydrogen could provide a way to store excess energy and use it when demand is high. It is important to remember, however, that hydrogen is only one of many renewable fuels and gases Australia can leverage to decarbonise its hard-to-abate sectors.

How can hydrogen be used in Australia?

Hydrogen can be used in several ways in Australia. It can be used as a sustainable fuel for heavy vehicles and aviation, and it can also be used in the processing of Australia’s abundant raw materials to produce green iron or alumina. This allows us to embed renewable energy in green or low emission commodities for export.

Does Australia have a hydrogen sector?

Despite the challenges, Australia’s hydrogen sector still holds significant potential. The country’s vast renewable energy resources and proximity to key hydrogen markets in Asia makes it well-positioned to become a major player in the global hydrogen economy.

How many hydrogen projects are there in Australia?

According to CSIRO and Clean Energy Council , there are around 103 hydrogen related industry projects in Australia valued at AUD$163.2 billion. Majority of the forthcoming hydrogen projects in Australia are mostly located Western Australia and Queensland.

Is Australia a hydrogen exporter?

Since the first “Hydrogen Energy Ministerial (HEM) meeting in Japan in 2018”, interest in hydrogen has grown and various governments and businesses are creating visions with robust plans for hydrogen . Australia has an established “track record as a trusted global energy exporter”.
