Interested proponents can find out more about Tasmania and the hydrogen opportunity from the Office of the Coordinator-General – the primary point of access to government for investors.
To inform the development of the National Hydrogen Strategy, a series of reviews, studies, research and analysis were undertaken.
The Office of the Coordinator-General has developed an investment-specific Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Prospectus, which provides an investment overview of Tasmania, and in particular, the Bell Bay Advanced Manufacturing Zone, as an ideal location for hydrogen production.
As a part of the National Hydrogen Strategy, Geoscience Australia developed a hydrogen mapping tool which showcases the hydrogen production potential of regions throughout Australia.
Hydro Tasmania, Tasmania's state-owned electricity generator, presents its analysis around Tasmania's competitive advantages for green hydrogen production, as well as its international price competitiveness.
Tasmania’s 'green hydrogen' opportunity – what makes Tasmania a unique, green hydrogen zone?
Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy sets a vision for clean, innovative, safe and competitive hydrogen industry that benefits all Australians.
The Strategy outlines an adaptive approach that equips Australia to scale up quickly as the hydrogen market grows.
It sets out a set of nationally coordinated actions involving governments, industry, and the community. Tasmania is actively working to implement the National Strategy, as well as our own Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Action Plan.
An analysis of the current international state of play for hydrogen and guidance on its future development.
A blueprint for the development of a hydrogen industry in Australia, designed to help inform the next series of investment among industry, government and research to help the industry scale in a coordinated manner.
A report prepared for ARENA to identify the opportunities for Australia to export hydrogen.

Hydrogen is identified in the ENA Gas Vision Report as a long-term solution to decarbonising Australia’s natural gas networks.
A report that summarises hydrogen strategies and industry roadmaps around the world.
ARENA’s purpose is to improve the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies and increase the supply of renewable energy through innovation that benefits Australian consumers and businesses. It recently ran a $70 million renewable hydrogen development funding round, with applications currently being assessed. It also has funding available for renewable energy projects, including hydrogen projects, under its Advancing Renewables Program.
The CEFC invests in projects that further Australia’s transition to lower emissions. This includes for example, agriculture, energy generation and storage, infrastructure, property, transport and waste. It has established the $300 million Advancing Hydrogen Fund, which will be made available to support the growth of a clean, innovative, safe and competitive hydrogen industry.
A presentation given by Renewables Tasmania to introduce Tasmania's renewable hydrogen opportunity.
Tasmania is uniquely placed to develop a large-scale renewable hydrogen industry using its abundant existing and expandable world-class renewable wind energy firmed by reliable hydro power, and access to industrial zones with high quality infrastructure. The Tasmanian government is committed to supporting hydrogen investment in our State and has prepared this information sheet to assist investors with project planning for their hydrogen projects.
