Foster innovation and workforce development Action theme 4 Accelerate hydrogen innovation based on solid academic research and industry partnerships, and ensure South Australia has the workforce skills, capability and capacity to deliver South Australia combines traditional manufacturing capabilities in defence and automotive industries with emerging skills in space and energy sectors to create a thriving, vibrant innovation community. South Australia's three main universities are all active in hydrogen and energy related research across the Centre for Energy Technology (University of Adelaide), the Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology (Flinders University) to the Future Industries Institute (University of South Australia). The rapid emergence of a hydrogen industry will create demand for skilled workers and tailor training programs that meet the demand for new specialist skills and promote opportunities for STEM students and graduates, particularly in regional areas where projects are likely to be based South Australia is on the move to foster innovation and workforce development... Leverage current and future hydrogen projects for training and innovation The "Hydrogen Research and Development in South Australia" report to the South Australian Government identifies existing hydrogen research and development capability in the state and opportunities to extend this capability across local, national and international collaboration South Australia will leverage its demonstration projects, such as AGN's Hydrogen Park South Australia at the Tonsley Innovation District and H2U's South Australian Renewable Hydrogen and Ammonia Supply Chain Demonstrator plant to provide a platform for rapid testing, development and commercial expansion of hydrogen related projects. Skilling South Australia to support the expansion of new industries and a hydrogen economy The South Australian Government is committed to supporting an additional 20,800 apprentices and trainees over four years through the Skilling South Australia initiative. The initiative is committed to ensuring these opportunities meet the state's skills needs both now and in the future. Government will work with industry, vocational education and training provides and universities to leverage the Skilling South Australia and other initiatives to encourage apprenticeships and traineeships to support the hydrogen sector. Support and participate in Future Fuels Cooperative Research Centre More than $90 million in government, industry and university cash and in- kind funding support the Future Fuels Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) work in transitioning Australia's multi-billion dollar energy sector to low-carbon fuels including hydrogen. South Australia is the only Australian state to commit government funding to the Future Fuels CRC, and will actively assist the Centre's research during its seven-year lifetime. Support and participate in the Australian Hydrogen Centre The South Australian Government has committed to support the establishment of the Australian Hydrogen Centre led by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group. Building upon the learnings from Hydrogen Park South Australia at the Tonsley Innovation District, the proposed Australian Hydrogen Centre will share knowledge on the feasibility of blending 10 per cent hydrogen into city and regional gas networks as a step toward 100 per cent conversion to hydrogen of the South Australian and other Australian jurisdictional distribution networks. This will help inform a plan for the cost- effective use of hydrogen in this sector. FUTURE.c FUELS CRC Australian Motors 27 Innovation and Translation neighbourhoods Lot Fourteen, Adelaide Located in the heart of Adelaide's CBD, Lot Fourteen is a creation and innovation neighbourhood bringing together members of the entrepreneurial ecosystem including the new Australian Space Agency, the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre, and the Australian Institute for Machine Learning. Also incorporating the Future Industries Exchange for Entrepreneurship (FIXE), Lot Fourteen provides an ideal platform for new companies connected to the new renewable hydrogen economy. Tonsley Innovation District The focal point of a 20-year master plan for the transformation of the former Mitsubishi car plant in metropolitan Adelaide, the Tonsley Innovation District has become Australia's most awarded innovation district and will host Australia's largest operational hydrogen electrolyser as well as up to 6 MW in on-site solar PV and battery storage. Tonsley has become an innovation test bed for productive and sustainable working and living environment around future energy, mining, manufacturing and autonomous mobility. Osborne Naval Shipyard The Osborne Naval Shipyard is Australia's premier naval industry hub, home to many leading technology companies pursuing opportunities in the defence or commercial shipbuilding and ship sustainment projects. Osborne has close connections with the Edinburgh Defence Precinct and the Commonwealth Defence Science and Technology agency South Australia's Hydrogen Action Plan Government of South Australia September 2019 28 Australian Mato PSA And
