Last year, the country announced it would develop a National Hydrogen Strategy, which will determine a coordinated way forward to maximise Australia’s competitive advantages, including becoming a major global hydrogen player.
A lot of activity is occurring at state level also, with the Governments of Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia currently developing their own state-based hydrogen strategies focussing on different parts of the hydrogen value chain based on their reflective strengths.

Don't think they'll have to go cap in hand to the market for a CR to fund the Demo plant with so much money flowing into H2 ATM.

My guess is that it's the other way around.... with HZR filtering through interested parties to get the best partner and the best offer.
My preference would beWPL... sitting on a whole bunch of LNG they don't want to become a "stranded asset"... a bit like the VIC govt and their brown coal.
