Deliver global best-practice hydrogen
regulations that are simple and efficient,
building community and investor
confidence
As one of the top regulatory regimes in
the world for tight and shale gas, South
Australia has a proven record of providing
effective, transparent regulatory
frameworks that facilitate economic
growth.
The South Australian Government, through the Council of
Australian Governments (COAG), works closely with other
International Association for
Hydrogen Safety
The South Australian Government is a
financial member of the International
Association for Hydrogen Safety ("HySafe")
and has developed close links with
hydrogen safety experts operating across
the world.
The 8th International Conference on
Hydrogen Safety was held in Adelaide,
South Australia in September 2019. The
world's premier hydrogen-risk management
event, the biennial conference provides an
open platform for presenting and discussing
new findings and information on hydrogen
safety.
Australian jurisdictions on regulatory standards and continues to
contribute to the development of Australia's National Hydrogen
Strategy for 2020-2030.
South Australia's regulatory expertise, close collaboration with
the national and international hydrogen communities and our
focus on safety provides a world-leading hydrogen regulatory
regime designed to meet the needs of investors and the
community.

on Hydrogen Safety
South Australia is on the move to establish
a world-class regulatory framework...
Efficient, effective regulations supported
by Hydrogen Regulatory Working Group
Ensuring our regulatory regime delivers
outstanding levels of safety and trust,
efficiently with clear and unambiguous
objectives is essential for investors to enter the
market with confidence.
The South Australian Government has
established a cross-government agency
Hydrogen Regulatory Working Group that
includes first responders and all other
workplace safety, environmental, planning and
technical regulation authorities involved in the
permitting of hydrogen facilities.
The Hydrogen Regulatory Working Group
will continue to develop competency and
awareness of hydrogen across government
to ensure regulatory gaps are identified and
addressed. It will continue to provide advice
to proponents of hydrogen projects to ensure
compliance with existing requirements.
Certification for South Australian
renewable hydrogen
Renewable or 'green' hydrogen generally
refers to hydrogen produced using electricity
from renewable sources. This is distinct from
'brown' or 'grey' hydrogen, which generally
means hydrogen produced using fossil fuels
that emit carbon into the atmosphere.
Customers in both Australian and overseas
markets seeking to reduce emissions recognise
the difference between renewable and other
forms of hydrogen. For South Australian
renewable hydrogen to be attractive in these
markets, it will be important for its origin to be
guaranteed by a scheme that meets market
requirements.
The South Australian Government will
continue to work with Australian and
international jurisdictions, including through
the National Hydrogen Strategy, to develop
an appropriate mechanism to guarantee
the origin of South Australian hydrogen
production for domestic use and export.
Advocating for internationally
harmonised codes and standards
The South Australian Government will
continue to maintain and further develop
its strong international hydrogen network,
including ongoing involvement in the
International Association for Hydrogen Safety
(HySafe), Centre for Hydrogen Safety (US) and
other internationally respected organisations
in the research and development of hydrogen
technologies and its safe use.
Working in close collaboration with our
international and national colleagues, we will
advocate for best practice, harmonised codes
and standards, making it simpler and more
efficient for investors working across multiple
locations and delivering consumer benefits.
Educating the South Australian
community and industry on hydrogen
technologies for the future
Public understanding and support for
hydrogen is critical to its adoption and success.
To help capture the value in the hydrogen
economy, the South Australian Government
will work proactively with the community and
industry to increase knowledge and support
for a growing green hydrogen industry.
