TasPorts – Hydrogen
I'm interested in new technologies and the state of play regarding hydrogen powering of vessels.

Is it the Government's intention to build it first and then recover the capital costs through the water entitlements?
I start by thanking officials for the briefing yesterday. I note this bill was tabled in the House on 18 October 2023.
Minister, have you, or your staff, or officials from your department, met with representatives of the companies Hydrogen Ready Carbon Mining Pty Ltd or Paladin?
Have you or your staff or any other government officials had any other meetings with Paladin Hydrogen?
What other work has TasPorts done - and this might be one for the minister, but it is also operational - to support the renewable energy hub?
The proposed new coal mine for Fingal is a looming Tasmanian climate disaster
The proposal to construct an underground coal mine in Fingal would dig up 1 million tonnes of coal a year to be transported to Bell Bay and create hydrogen.
The science is clear: the proposed coal mine at Fingal feeding a black hydrogen operation at Bell Bay would be a climate disaster.
Hydrogen is obviously critical for Tasmania and the investment so far is $140 million, $70 million Tasmania's, $70million federal.
