The Australian Pipelines and Gas Association (APGA) welcomes the passage of the legislation enabling a hydrogen production tax incentive as step forward to support the decarbonisation of gaseous fuels.
This legislation sends a strong signal about the importance of renewable gases in Australia’s energy future.
A key part of this transition will be the smaller domestic hydrogen projects already taking shape across the country. These projects are accelerating the diffusion curve by demonstrating how green hydrogen can be integrated into existing networks, while establishing supply chains needed to scale up production over time.
APGA chief executive Steve Davies says the knowledge gained from existing, and under construction projects in Victoria, SA, WA, NSW and Queensland will be vital in lowering costs, improving efficiency, and ensuring hydrogen can be deployed in a way that benefits Australian households, businesses, and industry alike.
“We’re seeing steady progress in smaller projects, which play a vital role in transitioning from natural gas today to an increasingly renewable gas future, ensuring reliability while reducing emissions,” Mr Davies said.
