The Risk and Investment Working Group was initially established to identify common barriers to investment and sources of risk across the hydrogen sector. We lost chairs several times and it was difficult to access information. The key challenge to the development of the industry is its pre-commercial nature and uncertainty around when the market would mature. This is where we will focus more now on Australia’s global competitiveness across a range of issues.
In the second half of 2023, we have had significant developments with the consultations on the Hydrogen Headstart, Sustainable Finance Strategy and Carbon Leakage Review.
