据油价网5月9日报道，澳大利亚政府将在2023—2024年预算中拨款13.5亿美元(20亿澳元)，用于加速大型可再生氢项目，旨在成为世界绿色氢生产的领导者。
澳大利亚政府在周二公布的预算中表示，将把这笔钱投资于“氢启动”(Hydrogen Headstart)项目，这是一个支持氢生产的新项目。
澳大利亚已经拥有世界上最大的可再生氢项目管道。政府在年度预算中表示：“该项目将弥合早期项目的商业差距，并使澳大利亚成为世界领先的氢气生产国和出口国。”
根据去年的一份政府报告，截至2022年，澳大利亚已经宣布了100多个氢气项目，潜在投资价值约为1550亿至2030亿美元(2300亿至3000亿澳元)。
气候变化和能源部长克里斯·鲍恩在报告中表示：“这占全球宣布的清洁氢项目的近40%，突显了澳大利亚成为全球领导者的潜力。”
新的氢资金预计将支持交付多达2至3个大型氢项目，规模需要高达1000兆瓦的电解槽容量。该项目预计将于2024年第一季度开放意向表达。经过评估，成功的申请人将获得合同。
澳大利亚政府表示，总的来说，澳大利亚2023—2024年预算将在该国“成为可再生能源超级大国”的计划中再投资27亿美元(40亿澳元)。
这些承诺使政府在成为可再生能源超级大国方面的总投资超过270亿美元(400亿澳元)。
“澳大利亚增长和繁荣的最大机会是全球向清洁能源的转变。”财政部长吉姆·查尔默斯在今天的预算演讲中说。
查尔默斯补充说：“通过现在采取行动，我们的资源、我们的研究人员和我们的地区可以为世界提供动力。”

Australia Looks To Become World's Leading Green Hydrogen Producer
Australia's government is allocating $1.35 billion (AUS$2 billion) in the 2023- 24 budget to accelerate large-scale renewable hydrogen projects, aiming to become a world leader in green hydrogen production.
The Australian government will invest the sum in the so-called Hydrogen Headstart, a new program to support hydrogen production, it said in the budget unveiled on Tuesday.
"Australia already has the largest pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects in the world. Hydrogen Headstart will bridge the commercial gap for early-stage projects, and position Australia to be a world-leading hydrogen producer and exporter," the government said in the annual budget.
As of 2022, Australia had an announced pipeline of more than 100 hydrogen projects, which could be worth around $155 billion - $203 billion (AUS$230-300 billion) of potential investment, according to a government report from last year.
"This represents close to 40% of all global clean hydrogen project announcements, and underlines Australia's potential to be among the global leaders," Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said in the report.
The new funding for hydrogen is expected to support the delivery of up to 2-3 large hydrogen projects, scaled to need up to 1,000 MW of electrolyzer capacity. The program is expected to be open for expressions of interest in the first quarter of 2024. Following assessment, successful applicants will be awarded contracts.
In total, Australia's Budget for 2023-24 invests a further $2.7 billion (AUS$4 billion) in the country's plan "to become a renewable energy superpower," the government said.
These commitments bring the government's total investment in becoming a renewable energy superpower to more than $27 billion (AUS$ 40 billion).
"Australia's biggest opportunity for growth and prosperity is the global shift to clean energy," Treasurer Jim Chalmers said in the Budget speech today.
"By acting now, our resources, our researchers and our regions can help power the world," Chalmers added.
