The Federal Government's new $2 billion Hydrogen Headstart program will fast-track the Hunter's transformation into a hydrogen superpower, industry leaders believe.
The program, announced in the federal budget, aims to drive down the cost of producing green hydrogen and help accelerate Australia's renewables revolution.
Hunter projects that are likely to directly benefit include the Port of Newcastle's clean energy hub and the proposed joint venture projects between AGL and Fortescue Future Industries at the site of the former Liddell Power Station and Origin and Orica at Kooragang Island.
