South Australia to streamline planning process
New legislation will provide ‘one window to government’ in effort to make approvals simpler for companies
The South Australian government has introduced a new Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Act that aims to overhaul the approvals process for green and blue hydrogen projects. The state sees significant potential for hydrogen exports to Northeast Asia and has made simplifying investment in hydrogen infrastructure a key pillar of its hydrogen action plan. “We have a fundamental competitive advantage in that we have a combination of solar and wind resources that allows us to produce green hydrogen in a cost competitive way,” says Richard Day, director of industry development at the South Australian government’s Office of Hydrogen Power, speaking on a webcast organised by the office.
