Returning for the second annual World Hydrogen Australia, this online conference will analyse and evaluate the fast-paced developments and opportunities for international collaboration and investment to facilitate Australia’s ambitious hydrogen export strategy. The nation’s federal and regional governments have spearheaded ambitious plans and supporting frameworks to drive their hydrogen economy. Where are they on their journey to becoming a leading hydrogen exporter by 2030?
This conference will analyse the progress and stages of development, and how to overcome existing and potential future hurdles to achieving a fully functioning and viable hydrogen economy. Experts from the region and internationally will debate the opportunities for Australia’s hydrogen infrastructure, technology choices, financing mechanisms, vehicle and fuelling priorities, and exports to Asia and beyond.
