The Australian government announced on March 12 the first milestone in a plan to supply clean hydrogen to Japan by commencing hydrogen production at a facility in the state of Victoria.

The world-first pilot is part of the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) Project, an Australia-Japanese joint venture seeking to establish a steady supply of hydrogen from a facility in the Latrobe Valley, in Victoria’s eastern region.
