A Japanese-Australian venture has kickstarted its plans for an international hydrogen energy supply chain, having started up hydrogen production operations in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria.

Hydrogen at the Latrobe Valley site is created through the gasification of brown coal, and once at commercial scale, could produce 225,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen annually with carbon capture and storage technology.
