THE HON CHRIS BOWEN MP Minister for Climate Change and Energy Member for McMahon
SHARON CLAYDON MP Member for Newcastle Deputy Speaker
The Albanese Government has taken a major step forward towards delivering a renewable hydrogen hub in the Hunter.
Signed agreement has been reached to invest 2 billion Hydrogen Headstart program announced in the 2023-24 Budget, as well as investing over half a billion dollars in regional hydrogen hubs. These actions will drive further investments in hydrogen across other regions including Gladstone and the Pilbara.
The Albanese Government's reformed Safeguard Mechanism puts industries like ammonia and chemical production on track to net zero emissions by 2050 and will continue to incentivise deployment of technologies like hydrogen and increased use of renewable energy.
