South Australia has outlined plans for a 100 per cent renewable hydrogen economy, saying that its enormous wind and solar resources, saying there is nowhere else in the world as well positioned to produce, consume and export 100% green hydrogen.
The plan was unveiled at an international hydrogen conference that began in Adelaide on Tuesday, in a state that is already sourcing well over 50 per cent of its electricity needs from wind and solar and which is on track to reach net 100 per cent renewables before 2030 and go well beyond that in the following decade.
Just last week, the Germany-Australian Energy Transition Hub talked of 200 per cent renewables as the most economic and effective plan to provide renewable power for electricity, transport and buildings, and to build an export industry. It seems South Australia will inevitably be the first to get there.
Its likely that nowhere else in the world is as well positioned as South Australia to produce, consume and export 100% green hydrogen.
