The Australian government has unveiled a draft law designed to provide incentives for hydrogen energy producers, marking a significant step toward fostering renewable energy innovation.
The proposed legislation, titled the "Future Made in Australia" bill, is set to be debated in Parliament in the coming weeks.
The bill outlines a range of measures to support the hydrogen sector, including a production tax credit of AUD 2 per kilogram (USD 1.30/kg) for renewable hydrogen.
The proposed tax incentives aim to bolster the role of domestic businesses in renewable energy and enhance Australia’s hydrogen production capabilities.
Chris Bowen, Minister for Climate Change and Energy, emphasized the legislation’s focus on expanding Australia’s renewable energy projects and positioning the nation as a global leader in hydrogen energy.
The proposed law is part of Australia’s broader strategy to accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies.
In addition to hydrogen production, the legislation introduces a suite of incentives aimed at promoting renewable energy projects and supporting local industries involved in clean energy innovation.
This initiative reflects Australia's commitment to transitioning to a sustainable energy future, aligning with its climate goals and the global push for decarbonization.
By incentivizing renewable hydrogen, the government aims to attract investment, stimulate job creation in the green energy sector, and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
