Labor said on Tuesday its national hydrogen plan would supercharge Australia's renewable energy industry and create thousands of regional blue-collar jobs, particularly in Queensland. Labor said that the direct investment from the policy was focused on the production of hydrogen gas using renewable energy, but the platform did include regulatory reforms and infrastructure investment that could assist hydrogen production from non-renewable sources.
