We are delighted to invite you to a joint webinar showcasing emerging hydrogen hubs in Hamburg, Germany and the Hunter Valley, NSW - presented in collaboration with the European Union Australia Climate Business Network.

The Hamburg Hydrogen Network was formed to advance nine joint projects in the Port of Hamburg, Germany. The joint projects include the production of green hydrogen from wind and solar energy at the site of a former coal-fired power plant, developing the site into a ‘Green Energy Hub’.

The green hydrogen produced will replace fossil fuels in industrial production and transport and logistics sector, to establish the entire hydrogen value chain. Industrial applications planned include the development by Airbus of hydrogen powered commercial aircraft, the use of net zero ships, the conversion of heavy-duty port logistics into fuel cell operations, and climate neutral steel production by Arcelor Mittal.

The Hunter is set to become one of the first green hydrogen hubs with the NSW Government committing at least $70 million to their development. They will provide groups of hydrogen users common infrastructure for the local production, use and distribution of hydrogen. They will reduce costs by delivering hydrogen in a coordinated fashion.

Developing green hydrogen hubs aligns with the NSW Renewable Energy Zones (REZs), ensuring they become thriving business precincts. The Hunter Hydrogen Hub will drive new low carbon jobs and could give rise to the nation’s first hydrogen electrolyser “gigafactory.”

Learn from German and Australian about speakers about:

• The key elements critical to the successful formation of the Hamburg Hydrogen Network
• The local development opportunities for industry and community in the Hunter Valley Renewable Energy Zone

Hear how the German and Australian hubs are:

• Developing joint partnerships with businesses with similar industry structure or added value
• Fostering an environment of co-operation rather than competition
• Creating co-operation opportunities for cluster SMEs to enter new markets
• The role of government policy and facilitating co-ordination
• Approaching shared infrastructure and developing industrial symbiosis
