Gladstone could become a âglobal clean energy superpowerâ, the Energy Futures Summit will hear at a two-day forum involving Queensland energy heavyweights kicking off in the port city on Wednesday.
Creating a positive renewable future for Central Queensland and seizing economic opportunities on the horizon will be on the agenda of closed-door discussions between all relevant parties.

âAustralia is undergoing a major energy transition and itâs happening at a rapid pace,â Van Breda said.
âThe energy market is shifting from fossil fuel generation to renewable energy and storage.
âOver the coming years, Stanwell will respond to the renewable energy needs of our large commercial and industrial customers through new low- or zero-emission generation technologies. We will also strive to play a central role in the emerging green hydrogen industry.
