"Australia’s hydrogen strategy has been a mix of ambition, overreach, and slow
reality checks.
The initial plan, launched in 2019, aimed to position the country as a global
hydrogen powerhouse, talking up its potential as an energy carrier for
transport, heating, and even power generation, all while maintaining
Australia’s role as a massive energy exporter.
The problem is, the plan was built on a fundamental misunderstanding of how
energy transitions actually work and unrealistic assumptions that green
hydrogen would be cheap.
In addition to the understandable if misplaced motivated thinking on the part
of Australian policy makers and business leaders to keep the energy export
dollars flowing, there was another reason why the assumptions were so wrong.
Major trusted organisations, including CSIRO and the International Energy
Agency fluffed it."
