Countries around the world are under increasing pressure to decarbonise their economies. There is growing interest in the production and use of hydrogen as a potential scalable and versatile mechanism for achieving this aim. If the global demand for hydrogen increases as a consequence, then it is likely that a global market in hydrogen will emerge to satisfy that demand.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) engaged ACIL Allen Consulting (ACIL Allen) to prepare a report to identify the opportunities for Australia to export hydrogen to help meet the potential global demand for hydrogen.
