Western Australia was one of the first jurisdictions globally to develop a Renewable Hydrogen Strategy and has made significant progress on this important initiative since 2019. The overall vision remains, however the changing international environment including significant global policy shifts, and the completion of the 2022 Strategy goals necessitate a refresh to Western Australia’s Renewable Hydrogen Strategy.
Developing a renewable hydrogen industry will assist in diversifying Western Australia’s economy by creating new industries, generating income and jobs for Western Australians, and contributing to economy-wide net-zero targets, and sector-specific decarbonisation.
The “Western Australia Renewable Hydrogen Strategy Refresh: Stakeholder Consultation Paper 2023” has been published by the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation, 2023, Government of Western Australia. The Stakeholder Consultation Paper is designed to inform stakeholders on the rationale and direction of Western Australia’s refreshed Renewable Hydrogen Strategy.
