Why we must continue to develop our hydrogen expertise

Zero carbon electrons, produced primarily through wind and solar power, are increasingly helping consumers decarbonise their electricity use across Australia’s electricity markets.

It is easy to forget that many energy users, such as manufacturing, mining and long-haul transport (i.e. aviation, trucking, and shipping) simply cannot rely on zero carbon electrons to meet their long-term emission reduction targets.

This is why zero carbon molecules such as hydrogen are not just desirable, but essential in helping the world decarbonise its energy system. APA, through its Pathfinder program, works with customers to investigate opportunities to decarbonise their operations and hydrogen remains a particular focus in the development of these customer-led solutions.
