Promoting the development and adoption of Zero Carbon Hydrogen in Australia
On 2 August 2019, the Smart Energy Council and the Australian Association of Hydrogen Energy (AAHE) announced the formation of Zero Carbon Hydrogen Australia, a new force for advocacy and action to support the development of the emerging hydrogen industry in Australia.
Operating as a division of the council, Zero Carbon Hydrogen Australia will advocate for the development of the hydrogen industry in Australia including:
- The uptake of renewable hydrogen products and projects in Australia;
- The design and delivery of a rigorous certification scheme for renewable hydrogen and downstream products;
- Bidding to bring the World Hydrogen Energy Conference to Australia; and
- Engaging in the development of Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy

The Australian Association for Hydrogen Energy (AAHE) was formed in late 2009 as the national association promoting the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier, its integration in the Australian energy economy, and the development and deployment of hydrogen energy technologies, such as fuel cells.
Building on the success of the 2008 World Hydrogen Energy Conference, held in Brisbane, the AAHE has been established to represent a wide range of Australian stakeholders, from industry and academia, to federal, state and local government, that have an interest in hydrogen and its role in clean energy and transportation.
