Date Time Making most of Australia’s hydrogen energy future Hydrogen production is a potentially transformative way to bring cleaner energy to markets, and natural gas represents a pathway to accelerating its development. The development of a commercial, industrial-scale hydrogen industry is attractive to governments across the world as it is a cleaner source of energy with the potential to reduce emissions in line with Paris Agreement targets. Australia, with its existing gas expertise and history, also recognises the potential of hydrogen. Pathways for scaling up the emerging hydrogen industry have been proposed by governments and industry in Australia and internationally, one thing is agreed by all parties: the potential benefits of hydrogen are too large to ignore.
