Mr ANDREW: We have not heard much about hydrogen. Treasurer, could you tell us what we
spent on hydrogen and where the future of hydrogen is going in Queensland?
Mr DICK: I welcome the question from the member for Mirani. Our trading partners in particular
in Japan and South Korea have a very clear vision about developing hydrogen societies. We have of
course made very significant strategic investments as a government to support the development of
clean renewable hydrogen in Queensland. We will continue to remain committed to that as part of our
hydrogen industry development plan for Queensland. We are very pleased that in Gladstone the world’s
largest hydrolyser manufacturing plant was recently opened. We are very keen for that to continue.
Fortescue has made the commitment that that plant and its development into further stages will continue
in Queensland.
It remains part of the renewable energy but also the industrial diversification story for
Queensland, so that is why we remain committed to the development of a hydrogen industry in
Queensland. Around $44 million out of the Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund

has been invested, including $29 million for CS Energy’s Kogan renewable hydrogen project and
$15 million for Stanwell’s Central Queensland hydrogen project, as two investments totalling
$44 million.
