Working with clients to realise Australia's hydrogen ambitions

Hydrogen

Australia's hydrogen industry is taking off, driven by significant domestic and export opportunities. For decades it has been a proven fuel. We're working with clients to realise hydrogen's potential to transform the energy sector.

Clients draw upon the combination of our project development and regulatory expertise and our understanding of the processes by which hydrogen is produced, transported, and stored. They're taking advantage of our expertise in the renewable energy, gas, water, infrastructure and technology sectors to turn their plans into reality.
