Future hydrogen market within Tasmania

Over the course of 2019 and 2020, the Australian Government and state governments made a number of announcements in relation to a national hydrogen strategy and state strategies for the development of a hydrogen production industry in Australia. These strategies involve a bold vision for Australia to become a major player in hydrogen export, as well as detailed goals and extensive action and funding to achieve that vision.

Tony will help to unravel what a hydrogen future looks like and the opportunities this presents for Tasmania.
