With the war in Ukraine driving up oil and gas prices, alternative sources of clean energy, particularly green hydrogen, underscore NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet's trade mission to Japan.
Mr Perrottet is hoping to put various scandals dogging his government behind him, and sell NSW as an attractive location for supply of hydrogen.
"We don't want people filling up with oil from Middle East, we want people filling up with hydrogen from NSW," the premier told reporters at an Iwatani hydrogen refuelling station in Tokyo.
