HYDROGEN PROJECTS
688. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for State Development,
Jobs and Trade:
I have a supplementary question.
Why has the minister failed to develop the critical infrastructure necessary
for green hydrogen projects in the midwest, which promise to address the state's
greenhouse gas emissions issue?

We are already undertaking a range
of projects around the state, whether it is the Asian Renewable Energy Hub in
the north west. The Minister for Hydrogen Industry is working assiduously to
make sure that we can build on our renewable energy hub in the midwest. As the
member can see from our announcement on Monday, we are going full-tilt in the south west and will continue to
grow these companies, industries and projects right around the state as we move
forward. The McGowan government has a clear vision for the energy transition in
this state; that is, to make sure we realise the potential of green energy
through renewable energy and its combination with green hydrogen, and blue
hydrogen has its role to play. Also, the Minister for Mines and Petroleum is
doing great work in critical minerals and battery energy. Just quietly,
minister, I think some of that work is where we are really going to get rubber
on the road. From that perspective, I am very excited about the future. It is a
future that the McGowan government is determined to realise and will make sure
that we realise the green energy transition that is coming to Western Australia
and the great economic opportunities that will come with that. We will work with
any proponents, wherever they come from, to make sure that we realise this
goal. We are working day and night to ensure that it happens.
