The role of Hydrogen in the future of the National Electricity Market
2023-10-30 17:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | AECOM, 540 Wickham st, Fortitude Valley, QLD, 4006, Australia
Monday 30th of October AECOM Office, 8/540 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
Hydrogen is emerging as a pivotal player in power generation, offering valuable benefits while presenting formidable challenges. As a clean energy carrier, hydrogen provides a versatile solution for firming renewable sources, ensuring grid stability and resilience. Its capacity for large-scale, long-duration energy storage and rapid dispatch capabilities allows for the utilisation of excess renewable electricity, and minimised curtailment. However, challenges such as the high cost of hydrogen production, storage, and transportation and the need for specialised infrastructure hinder its competitiveness against conventional firming sources like natural gas. Striking a balance between these advantages and obstacles is crucial as hydrogen strives to carve its niche in the evolving energy landscape, aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition toward sustainable power generation. For this event, we have brought together a panel of specialists to answer the question: “What is the role of hydrogen in the future of the National Electricity Market?”
Numbers for this event will be limited. Please book early to secure your place.

Industry Workshop | April
2023-04-20 16:00 - 20:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | The Precinct, TC Beirne Building, Level 1, Brisbane, Qld, Australia
People are invited from all industry verticals to share in a Chatham house rules environment about what has gone wrong, what is working well and why.
This is the first workshop in a two part series that seeks to tap into the real status of industry progressing towards commercially deployable green hydrogen solutions that contribute to our economy. This information will inform our working groups and develop a white paper available to industry.
Looking back on the last 2 years in the Australian hydrogen industry there have been a lot of big promises (by project developers and equipment OEMs) but little to show for it.
Why this is the case?
Is the technology commercially ready and, if so, at what scale should we realistically be looking to deploy it?
Is it due to overly ambitious project developers unable to reach financial close, a lack of reliable hydrogen equipment, a failure of government policy and/or regulatory support, or all the above?
Come along, share a beverage and a conversation on:
What has been your experience in the hydrogen industry over the last two years?
What have you learnt?
Please share amongst your networks, we look forward to some engaging conversations.
When: Thursday 20th April
Where: The Precinct, Fortitude Valley is located inside TC Beirne Building on Level 1
Time: 4pm arrival for 4.30pm – 6.30pm Workshop | Networking drinks and canapés 6.30pm – 8pm
