GHD at the centre of Australia's hydrogen industry development
At a glance
GHD shared its global experience and perspective at the invitation-only National Hydrogen Strategy Taskforce-hosted industry workshop to help further shape Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy.
GHD representative, Brooke Maki, Global Communication and Insights Manager, joined a select group of invited industry leaders, government policymakers and researchers, to explore the role of industry in working with the community and government in the development of a sustainable and thriving clean hydrogen energy industry for Australia.
“GHD is proud to be at the forefront of clean hydrogen developments and policy discussions globally. We are passionate about enabling an industry that has substantial decarbonisation benefits in power generation, transportation, industrial applications and building heating,” Brooke says.
“An emerging industry like hydrogen gives industry players an important opportunity to get it right from the very beginning. The work of government-hosted forums is instrumental in facilitating deliberate collaboration between governments, project proponents, financiers and research institutes."
I believe we gained a seat at the table because GHD has demonstrated a deep interest in this area - we also bring real-world perspectives given we’re actively working alongside industry leader clients and governments to develop hydrogen projects across Australia, the UK and Canada.
“Sharing our perspectives based on our knowledge and experience from other industries, such as oil and gas, helps us collectively respond to the swiftly growing demand for hydrogen in the domestic and global markets."
“What came through at the workshop is that industry and government share the same goal - we all want to develop a new clean hydrogen energy market leveraging Australia’s high value renewables resource position."
“We see tremendous value being able to work alongside our industry clients and government policy-makers and play our part in shaping a sustainable and thriving new industry of which we can all be proud."
"Thank you to the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science and the National Hydrogen Strategy Taskforce for the opportunity to participate."
