Australian Hydrogen Projects

Abstract This dataset features Australian hydrogen projects that are active in the development, construction, or operating phase. Projects included meet renewable hydrogen or carbon capture and storage (CCS) hydrogen production methods outlined in Australia"s National Hydrogen Strategy. This dataset aims is to provide a detailed snapshot of hydrogen activity across Australia. It includes location data, proponent details, and descriptions for all hydrogen projects listed. Additional data is included, such as the energy source for hydrogen production, the method of hydrogen production, and the amount of hydrogen to be produced per year.

The AusH2 tool was commissioned in 2019 by the then Department of Industry, Innovation and Science (DIIS) on behalf of the National Hydrogen Taskforce, which was established by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council. The original hydrogen projects dataset was published in June 2020 and since September 2020 updates to the dataset have been coordinated with research.csiro.au/HyResource. Since March 2022, hydrogen research centres are no longer included in the dataset as they are compiled by HyResearch (https://research.csiro.au/hyresearch/).
