Australian-produced Hydrogen will be exported to Japan in a world first trial between Australian and Japanese businesses.
Both the Federal and Victorian Governments have invested $50million into the project which will cost a total of $500million.
The Hydrogen will be produced from coal in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley; the project will aim to store the carbon dioxide emissions to reduce the environmental impact.
By twenty fifty it’s estimated the Hydrogen industry will provide more than 8000 jobs nationally and $11billion a year in GDP.
