In August 2019, the Smart Energy Council and the Australian Association of Hydrogen Energy (AAHE) announced the formation of Hydrogen Australia.

As a division of the Smart Energy Council, Hydrogen Australia advocates for the development of the industry and the uptake of hydrogen, seeking to promote the use of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable fuel and energy storage medium in Australia.

Hydrogen Australia’s program of work focuses on:

• Promoting the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier
• Safety and standards development
• Further developing and supporting Australia’s export market potential including partner activity
• Policy development and the integration of hydrogen in the Australian energy economy
• The development and deployment of hydrogen energy technologies, such as fuel cells, and
• Raising awareness and designing and delivering events.

The program of work in 2021-2022 included:

• An advocacy and awareness campaign for hydrogen
• Delivery of high-quality seminars and workshops in key locations and online
• Development of an industry-led Guarantee of Origin scheme for renewable hydrogen, ammonia, and metals.
