The Hydrogen Fuels program focuses on creating the expert technical, socio-economic and geopolitical knowledge for Australia to become a leading exporter of zero-emissions hydrogen. The project makes a clear distinction between zero-emissions hydrogen produced by renewable energy driven electrolysis, and other forms of clean hydrogen which can still contain embedded carbon emissions.
