???? 據管道油氣新聞網2月1日消息：澳大利亞建立了由13個區域氫技術集群組成的網絡，這是建立全國性氫集群驅動力的一部分。該網絡將在集群上投資185萬澳元，將培育價值數十億美元具有全球競爭力的制氫行業。

????由NERA牽頭的國家集群(將作為虛擬網絡運行)將為澳大利亞的氫技術和專業知識樹立全球知名度和公認品牌。它還將幫助氫供應鏈的發展，減少重疊，并確定新型氫技術的開發、部署和商業化方面的差距。

????覆蓋澳大利亞各州和地區的區域性氫技術集群的建立，是在NERA于9月啟動的種子基金選擇項目結束之后進行的。NERA還能夠利用全國各州和地區政府的一系列資金承諾以及行業金融支持。

????NERA首席執行官Miranda Taylor表示，這一宣布是提升技能、能力和商業化機會的關鍵一步，以釋放澳大利亞創造全球競爭性氫工業的巨大潛力，根據德勤2019年的報告，該產業可使澳大利亞GDP增加260億美元。

????“該計劃標志著澳大利亞發展氫技術的能力向前邁出了一大步。這些區域集群都得到各州和地區政府的支持，它們都是圍繞著關鍵的現有氫項目和技術供應鏈建立起來的，這些項目和技術供應鏈都位于戰略位置，有能力為其提供支持。這將確保整個新興氫價值鏈的長期凝聚力和可持續能力?！?/p>

????國家氫產業集群的發展被2019年國家氫戰略確定為擴大澳大利亞國內產業規模以成為全球氫競爭對手的重要組成部分。

????這一聲明將繼續發揮NERA在協調合作機會方面的積極作用，以實現澳大利亞在整個氫價值鏈上的潛力，并確保澳大利亞公司能夠為國內和國際市場提供新技術、產品和服務。

????Australia unveils nationwide hydrogen cluster scheme

????A network of 13 regional hydrogen technology clusters has been unveiled across Australia as part of a drive to establish a nationwide hydrogen cluster. With A$1.85 million to be invested in the clusters, the network will foster a multi-billion dollar, globally competitive hydrogen industry.

????Spearheaded by NERA, the national cluster (which would operate as a virtual network) will establish a global identity and a recognised brand for Australian hydrogen technology and expertise. It will also aid the development of the hydrogen supply chain, reduce overlaps and identify gaps in the development, deployment, and commercialisation of new hydrogen-focussed technologies.

????The establishment of the regional hydrogen technology clusters — which cover all of Australia’s states and territories — follows the conclusion of a seed funding selection program started by NERA in September. NERA has also been able to leverage a range of funding commitments from state and territory governments around the country, as well as industry financial support.

????NERA CEO Miranda Taylor said the announcement was a crucial step in building the skills, capacities and commercialisation opportunities necessary to unlock Australia’s enormous potential to create a globally competitive hydrogen industry that, according to a 2019 Deloitte report, could increase Australia’s GDP up to $26 billion.

????“Today marks a great step forward in Australia’s capability in developing hydrogen technologies. These regional clusters, all of which have the support of their state and territory governments, have been established around key, existing hydrogen projects and technology supply chains in strategic locations that have a demonstrated capacity to support them."

????“This will ensure long-term local cohesion and sustainable capability across the emerging hydrogen value chain.”

????The development of a national hydrogen cluster was identified by the 2019 National Hydrogen Strategy as an important component to scale up Australia’s domestic industry to become a global hydrogen competitor.

????This announcement continues NERA’s active role in coordinating collaborative opportunities to realise Australia’s hydrogen potential across the hydrogen value chain and ensure that Australian companies are well placed to supply new technology, products and services to domestic and international markets.
