The Queensland Government expressed support for the Japanese plan earlier this year, shortly after Kawasaki Heavy Industries announced that they will partner with the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments to gasify brown coal to make non-renewable hydrogen in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley. Australia ’s Kawasaki is investing AUD1.5m ( more than $16bn ) in an AUD3.3m hydrogen hub, with Japan seen as a potential customer. Electrolysis will be used to generate green hydrogen, which will fuel a range of gas appliances, blended into natural gas supplies and exported. Japan has spent more than $16bn on hydrogen research since the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the Victorian plant will export green hydrogen to power the 2020 Tokyo Olympics using specialised tankers built by Renewable Energy Agency . Kawasaki Heavy Industries is already part of a government-backed scheme to gasify brown coal to make hydrogen in Victoria state.
