Australia backs world-leading clean hydrogen projects
Australia’s future clean hydrogen industry has been given another significant boost after the Morrison Government approved three large-scale hydrogen plants in Western Australia and Victoria that will be among the biggest in the world.
Three companies have been awarded more than $100 million in conditional funding by the Government through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s (ARENA) Renewable Hydrogen Deployment Funding Round.
The Government initially announced funding of up to $70 million was available under the program, but this has been increased to up to $103.3 million to fund three projects selected from a strong field of shortlisted applicants.
