Miners welcome Labour’s A$1bn hydrogen strategy

The resources sector has welcomed the federal opposition’s A$1-billion hydrogen strategy, to fund hydrogen research and commercial development.

Labour’s plan will see A$1-billion in funding from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation go towards supporting clean hydrogen development, with up to A$90-million of unallocated funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency going to support research, demonstration and pre-commercial deployment of hydrogen technologies.
