The intention of the governments consultation on the topic of hydrogen is to utilise public feedback to inform the government’s thinking and to influence the direction of their strategies for the future of Hydrogen.
Public feedback will inform and develop a draft strategy, to be publicly released in September 2019. The COAG Hydrogen Working Group will conduct an extensive consultation across Australia during 2019, in person and through electronic submissions. The department invites interested parties to comment by 28 March 2019 through the provided links below:
