Building a Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Industry Network 

A Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Industry Network has been formed.  This is a partnership between the Tasmanian Government and the Bell Bay Advanced Manufacturing Zone (BBAMZ) hosted a series of Renewable Hydrogen Business Forums in Hobart, Launceston and Burnie during July and August 2021. The Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Industry Network will:

• focus on the hydrogen industry as a whole, including local use of hydrogen and export opportunities
• help business to engage with industry experts and other Tasmanian businesses with interest in the hydrogen space
• feature hydrogen industry experts speaking about the importance of hydrogen to the Tasmanian economy and the opportunities that will arise for Tasmanian business as it grows.

In February 2021, BBAMZ was successful in receiving $100,000 in seed funding through the National Energy Resources Australia Regional Hydrogen Technology Cluster grant program. This funding was also matched by the Tasmanian Government to assist the development of a regional hydrogen technology cluster to further underpin our renewable energy future in Tasmania. The development of a hydrogen cluster around key hydrogen projects and infrastructure hubs, or in regions that will service those hubs, will help to enhance local cohesion, capability, and efficiency in the hydrogen value chain.

In May, the Tasmanian Government committed a further $100,000 to BBAMZ extend the hydrogen cluster program beyond March 2022.
