NSW Hydrogen Strategy

The NSW Hydrogen Strategy sets out our $3 billion vision and path to develop a thriving green hydrogen industry in NSW. Our nation-leading strategy sets out policies to:

• provide incentives of up to $4 per kilo of green hydrogen
• drive decarbonisation in the hard-to-abate transport, industrial and energy sectors to help us reach net zero by 2050.

The strategy includes 60 actions designed to drive down the cost of green hydrogen production and support industry development by:

• providing green hydrogen producers with up to $1.5 billion in green hydrogen electricity concessions  
• establishing the NSW Renewable Fuel Scheme to initially support green hydrogen production
• funding $109 million for 3 hydrogen hubs with a combined output of over 7,096 tonnes of green hydrogen per year
• providing funding of over $3 million to develop innovative hydrogen technology, including advanced hydrogen storage materials and ultra-efficient electrolysers
• providing funding of $25 million for a Hydrogen Centre of Excellence, to train the next generation of hydrogen experts.

Renewable fuels are critical to decarbonising our hard-to-abate sectors and achieving a net zero future for NSW.

The NSW Renewable Fuel Strategy supports our vision for a sustainable future by accelerating the production and uptake of affordable renewable fuels in NSW.

It builds on the actions of the NSW Hydrogen Strategy by recognising hydrogen as a critical feedstock for renewable fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel and green ammonia.
