The On New Ground Report was published in June 2017 and details our experiences dealing with governments, onshore gas developers, rural landholders and communities who either by design or coincidence played integral roles in the most significant resource development story in Australia’s recent history.
Shared Landscapes demonstrates how two primary industries, gas and agriculture, operate side by side on the one landscape, while both making significant contributions to Queensland’s economy.
Hydrogen
An energy carrier produced by splitting water molecules through electrolysis or from natural gas reforming and used for transportation or power generation.
Application of this toolkit is most relevant during the feasibility phase of a project, prior to final site selection and design. It also provides an overview of regulatory approvals information in Queensland.
Find out about the Queensland Government’s commitment to working with the private sector to accelerate the production, use and export of hydrogen and secure a hydrogen future for all Queenslanders.
