Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Ted O'Brien will be in Newcastle On Monday morning to step up pressure on the Albanese Government to honour a funding commitment to a Green Hydrogen Hub in Newcastle.
The previous government included $100 million in the budget to set up the hub at the Port of Newcastle.
The Labor government has refused to confirm if it will support the project.
Ted O'Brien says the Hunter is perfectly positioned to become a booming hydrogen production and export hub.
