Energy, Environment & Climate Change. Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said: “We are proud to support the four Victorian hydrogen clusters alongside NERA – it is an example of our Renewable Hydrogen Industry Development Plan in action and puts our state at the forefront of driving the development of renewable hydrogen” Commenting on the establishment of the hydrogen technology clusters in Victoria, NERA CEO Miranda Taylor said “The support from the Victorian Government has enabled four Victorian clusters to join NERA’s national network, the most of any state or territory. NERA has also decided to locate our National Cluster Development Manager in Melbourne in recognition of this leadership. The four successful clusters are as strong as they are diverse, representing the wide range of hydrogen technology opportunities we want to see realised through the program.”
GrapheneX’s Director Stephen Wee said: “This announcement is a great step forward for Victoria’s emerging hydrogen economy. “We look forward to the Clayton Hydrogen Technology Cluster bringing together industry stakeholders and scientists in developing technological capabilities in the areas of cost-effective hydrogen production, storage and distribution infrastructure, to enable Australia’s leading position in the global hydrogen industry. “With strong support from NERA, the State Government, technology innovators, and research organisations including Swinburne University of Technology and CSIRO, we’re confident to quickly establish a collaborative cluster, and help drive green hydrogen supply chain development.”
