Clean energy takes centre stage in federal budget, industry reactions The Albanese Labor government has delivered its 2023 – 2024 budget, placing energy front and centre. The budget takes the government’s total spend on making Australia a renewable superpower to $40 billion (USD 27 billion). While many in the industry have applauded the budget, there are some glaring contradictions.

Electrolysis – Commonly referred to as “green hydrogen”, hydrogen production via electrolysis uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. No greenhouse gas emissions are produced, although there may be emissions associated with the electricity generation.
Decarbonisation Energy mix, seeking to replace coal and sooner or later Gas with. What demand for core exports of countries like Norway. Combine carbon capture and storage with Hydrogen as they reduce dependence on Natural has consumption. Selling Hydrogen as a fuel as a energy source to sell into the markets. Blue Hydrogen (through Fossil- reforming Natural Gas. Blue hydrogen is an industry term for hydrogen produced from natural gas and supported by carbon capture and storage. The CO2 generated during the manufacturing process is captured and stored permanently underground. The result is low-carbon hydrogen that produces no CO2. A byproduct of the oil extraction process. Whereas Green Hydrogen is energy source for the future. Creating a market for Green Hydrogen... requires a Road map and investment plan, and how the market was going to be created. What needed.
Oil and Gas refinery byproduct. Input to further refine your fossil in manufacturing as a gas as part of industrial process. It's usually a catalyst for some other gas state of industrial processes. Like CH4 Methane it can be used for a source of energy. Burn it generates energy and generates makes water. You can burn it and not generate CO2 as a by product. Reforming Natural Gas, or run Natural Gas as a process and seperate Co2 and Hydrogen gas diveted on the other hand. The problem is you have to install a carbon capture and storage facility as well. Rest carbon emissions, and then you have clean Hydrogen on the side. Many people feel this is still maintaining Natural Gas production. Effects of Fossil Fuel production. Still a good way to start a Hydrogen Market and another way of decarbonising other industries sectors clusters... Industrial sectors where there is a big reliance on Hydrogen as a catalyst, carbon capture and storage could be used with other processes. That's what is known as Blue Hydrogen where Hydrogen is produced as byproduct of natural Gas as the input source.
Water as an input, you apply electricity (another energy source applied there, and your electrolyser will seperate your water molecules seperating your oxygen and Hydrogen as a gas output. This is a clean source of hydrogen as you are not using Natural Has. However, the problem is your using electricity you need an additional energy source. Input. The more expensive that Electricity the more expensive your Hydrogen extraction process / Hydrogen production process becomes through that Electrolysis process.
Electricity from Solar Farm production. Excess Solar generation where you have surplus and you can't store that in any other way (Battery Storage less developed or practicable... Useful where you originally had to curtail Solar generation and thus wasting capacity. Balance between demand and supply at that time isn't enough to take into account the production. Excess production to power up an Electrolyser. Some of the models of producing Green Hydrogen. However currently there isn't an abundant source of affordable or economical Electrolysers... currently.....in the early 2020s. Renewable free,,,, But in the end what would the cost of the Hydroegn on the open market to cover cost of production. This will evolve... Too easy to be sceptical about the cost of producing Green Hydrogen. There simply isn't enough renewable excess renewable energy available. How do you have a constant stable production of hydrogen with a by nature intermittent Renewable energy generation. Even before Compression and movement costs... So this goes with the cost of Electrolyser source of renweable energy electricity and compression and movement costs. Building production infrastructure, place where its produced, transported to place where its needed. Hydrogen can certainly play a role to store energy when its not needed, and can play a role around some of the bottle knecks on Grid acessess. One can install an Electrolyser, and help it to balance the grid along the way. Green Hydrogen industry will be developed, maybe not in the industrial quantities people will want in the EU/ UK. Challenge of producing huge amounts of renewable power to produce X amount of Green Hydrogen. Or huge amounts of carbon capture and storage installed on Natural Gas to get Blue Hydrogen. However, the more it is produced the more learning curve effects gained in other industries will be replicated for Hydrogen. More Electolyser produced maybe the unit cost of each Electrolyser, the cheaper Hydrogen cost will get and cheaper over time. Whether the Learning Curve will be steep, just as with Batteries the learning curve with Electrolysers and otherwise will occur.
Powering cars and homes or more in specialist industries... Bigger role at first in addressing the need to decarbonise the big industrial clusters. In the UK Humber and Teeside region. Biggest source of emissions for UK and Northern Europe. Prime places you can use Hydrogen and Carbon capture and storage to have meaningful impact on a whole region and industrial base in the short term. Carbon capture and storage in Steel production. Early applications. Helps decarbonise those industrial clusters.... Balance the grid, in where energy storage is possible. Fixed pattern of transportation from point to point good way to decarbonise ferries etc... Worse offenders on transportation sector such bunker fuel for shipping sector. Hydrogen fuel cells as transportation source of energy e.g. Light Duty vechicles how many fuel stations are you going to need. Heat Pumps rather than Hydrogen domestic boiler...
