Read more: Queensland, Australia unveils hydrogen workforce roadmap Last year (2022), the Queensland State Government delivered a dedicated workforce plan for the hydrogen industry as it looked to build a pipeline of skilled, hydrogen-ready workers. Last month (February 2023), the Energy and Climate Change Ministerial Council (ECMC) agreed to review the National Hydrogen Strategy. The Australian Federal Government has seen hydrogen as key to its Long Term Emission Reduction Plan to achieve Net Zero emission by 2050. Published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Skilling the green hydrogen economy: A case study from Australia called for cross-sector collaboration to support education and training on hydrogen energy, with training on electrolysers, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, and refuelling stations most needed. Australian research has highlighted a lack of hydrogen skills and training capabilities to achieve newly-legislated carbon reduction targets.Ī study by Swinburne University of Technology’s Victorian Hydrogen Hub (VH2) has said, delivering education and training through registered organisation can protect workers transitioning into the hydrogen economy from being locked out of the industry.Īccording to the research, the Australian skills and education landscape is not keeping pace with the green hydrogen industry, which it said is causing a rush to “fill the gaps,” suggesting that short course and micro-credentialling are being used, although risk fragmenting the landscape.
