4. Enabling industry growth

For Australia to become a global leader in clean hydrogen by 2030, governments, industry and the community need to work together towards a common vision.

This common vision includes:

• An environment conducive to investment, through better and more consistent regulation
• Helping to build relationships with future country markets
• Supporting early stage technology development, then stepping back and letting the market take over as the industry matures.

Governments also recognise the role regulation can play in driving change and promoting technology switching. In tandem, industry can drive growth by taking risks on new ideas and technology.

There are practical and immediate actions that we can undertake to improve the regulatory environment and build internationalrelationships.
