The federal government says the hydrogen hub will create 16,000 direct jobs and 13,000 indirect jobs.
The federal government has allocated $70 million to get hydrogen projects up and running in Queensland.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the project is about building industries that produce less carbon emissions.
Anthony Albanese unveiled the $70 million investment - which the government expects will be matched by the private sector - for the Townsville Region Hydrogen Hub program on Saturday. "You can change those industries, and their carbon footprint, so that they become not just industries that can survive, but industries that can thrive."
