Renewable hydrogen is one of many renewable fuels that can help Victoria cut emissions in parts of the economy where electrification is difficult or not viable.
It can be used directly as a fuel, and it is also an important feedstock for producing other renewable fuels (for example, by combining hydrogen with nitrogen or a carbon source to make other synthetic fuels).
Victoria’s approach recognises that the mix of renewable fuels we produce and use is likely to evolve over time.
Some renewable fuel pathways may be deployed earlier, while renewable hydrogen and hydrogen‑derived fuels are expected to contribute to the renewable fuels mix over time.
Renewable Hydrogen Industry Development Plan (2021)
In 2021, the Victorian Government released the Renewable Hydrogen Industry Development Plan, which set out the potential for renewable hydrogen to provide a zero‑emissions alternative across the economy and outlined early steps to help grow the sector.
Renewable hydrogen support
The Victorian Government has supported the development of renewable hydrogen through a range of initiatives and programs.
