South Australia believes it can deliver renewable hydrogen to our trading partners to meet their ambitious plans. We are working with the Commonwealth and all State and Territory Governments to implement Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy.
National Hydrogen Strategy
Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy was released in November 2019 and sets a vision for a clean, innovative, safe and competitive hydrogen industry that benefits all Australians. It aims to position our industry as a major player by 2030.
South Australia has contributed to the development of a National Hydrogen Strategy with representatives across all work streams, and leading a kick-start project on blending up to 10 per cent hydrogen with natural gas in domestic gas networks.
South Australia’s Hydrogen Action Plan will be the primary mechanism through which South Australia contributes to the implementation of the National Hydrogen Strategy, with a focus on being a supplier-of-choice for certified renewable hydrogen.
