�������� is accelerating Australia’s growing hydrogen economy with a new collaboration agreement with to expedite the development of hydrogen standards.

The federal government identified hydrogen as one of five top-priority, low-emission technologies it will be investing in over the next decade. �������� has published several standards aiming to support hydrogen production, with more currently under development. The standards come as Australia’s latest hydrogen plants open in early 2021.

“Australia could be exporting a huge amount of hydrogen in the coming decades, potentially adding billions to the economy. To assist with the safe, effective scale-up of the technology we will need appropriate standards in place,” said Kara Chan, Engagement Manager at ��������.

“By facilitating knowledge sharing between ourselves and industry we can assist in giving Australia a step up in the global hydrogen economy,” said Ms. Chan.

“Our shared interest in hydrogen production, distribution and use will mean the creation of essential technical content that will support the industry to grow. Standards can help ensure that safety and performance requirements are met, meaning we will see sustainable solutions in use sooner and on a larger scale,” said David Norman, Chief Executive at Future Fuels CRC.

“�������� looks forward to developing our relationship with the Future Fuels CRC in bringing guidance to industry. Together, we can support the growth of hydrogen to build a stronger economy and more sustainable future for Australia,” concluded Ms. Chan.
