Regional Opportunities

North Queensland is abundant in natural resources with the existing capacity to generate clean energy from solar PV, wind, and hydro. North Queensland is an important and critical link in the supply chain needed for Australia to become a major renewable hydrogen producer and supplier. Projects such as Copperstring 2.0, Hells Gates Dam Pumped Hydro facility, Kidston Pumped Storage, Ark Energy’s hydrogen production facility and new hydrogen powered truck (operational by the end of 2022), Edify Energy’s consented 200 MW Majors Creek Solar Power Station project and other large scale renewable projects will ensure that that the region has the foundations to accelerate the hydrogen industry for domestic and global demand.
