Much has already been made of plans to create a hydrogen hub at the Port of Newcastle, but today (Thursday 28 April, 2022) Energy Minister Angus Taylor will announce further funding to create a Hunter Super Hydrogen Hub.
$41 million dollars will be added to the Newcastle Hydrogen project and a further $41 million will be added to Origin Energy's H2 Hub project, which the government estimates will create more than 2,300 jobs.
The government says national clean energy projects could directly support 16,000 jobs by 2050, along with a further 13,000 jobs in renewable energy construction.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the investment will unlock the Hunter's clean energy future.
