The governments of Australia and of the Federal Republic of Germany share the common goal of reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and decarbonising their economies. Both countries are committed to developing a national green hydrogen economy. The joint long-term goal is to make green hydrogen economically viable. Australia and Germany therefore support the establishment of a global green hydrogen economy. This opens up a wide range of opportunities for German companies to build up business with partners from Australia, for example in the field of component manufacturing for fuel cells and electrolysers, Battery technologies, in plant engineering and in the production, transport and storage of green hydrogen.
Key facts:
Australia: Promotion of large-scale projects for the production and export of green hydrogen; establishment of international supply chains
European Union: Target of 10 million tonnes of own hydrogen production and 10 million tonnes of imports by 2030 (‘Fit for 55’, EU Hydrogen Strategy).
Germany: National hydrogen strategy with a focus on international partnerships, expansion of electrolysis capacities and technology exports.
The first „HZwo: Australian-German-Saxonian Hydrogen and Energy Forum : Research and Industry hand in hand“ being organised jointly by Future Energy Exports (FEnEx) CRC from West Australia and HZwo e.V. from Saxony (Germany) is intended to give participants an initial insight into establishing international business relationships with Australia and an overview of the topic of ‘Green hydrogen in Australia’.
