Western Australia’s Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH), a 70GW solar PV and wind project, has been submitted to the Australian government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
Australian utility Origin Energy announced its intention to withdraw from hydrogen and focus on renewable energy and energy storage, citing “uncertainty around the pace and timing of development of the hydrogen market".
Today (13 September), the Australian government released an updated 2024 version of its National Hydrogen Strategy, focusing on accelerating clean hydrogen industry growth, with solar PV and wind generation set to provide the foundation for a booming industry.
