Alternative Clean Energy

EDF Australia is committed to support Australia’s ambitions to produce alternative clean fuels as part of its broader strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 by tapping on its know-how and experiences across the green hydrogen value chain.

Australia’s ambitions for alternative clean fuels are part of its broader strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and to strengthen its position as a leader in the global clean energy transition. Australia made substantial investments in alternative clean fuels in the Australian Federal Budget 2024/25 with A$22.7B allocated over the next decade.

As part of its hydrogen plan globally, EDF has been actively involved in industrialising water electrolysis solutions since 2019 and plans to develop up to 3 GW of electrolytic hydrogen production worldwide by 2035. EDF Australia aims to leverage off the Group’s 20 years’ worth of experience in the green hydrogen value chain to support Australia’s ambitions to produce alternative clean fuels.

Our involvement in green hydrogen value chain and know-how:

  • EIFER founded by EDF and KIT support the advancement of hydrogen technologies along the whole value chain
  • Hynamics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the EDF group dedicated to hydrogen since 2019
  • EDF Pulse Venture has invested €16M in McPhy, a French electrolyser manufacturer, demonstrating its commitment to innovation since 2018
