Hydrogen Mobility Australia16 Feb 2018 17:11
I have inserted the link after a few paras and put the last para in which is an interesting read,
My name is Claire Johnson and I�m the Chief Executive Officer of Hydrogen Mobility Australia, a recently established national body representing the emerging Australian hydrogen sector.
Our membership comprises vehicle manufacturers, energy companies and infrastructure providers, specifically BOC, BP, Caltex, CNH Industrial, Coregas, Hyundai, ITM Power, Siemens, Toyota and Viva Energy.
Our members are involved in initiatives spanning the entire hydrogen value chain from hydrogen production, export, stationary power applications, energy storage and transport.
Hydrogen Mobility Australia�s vision is a hydrogen society for Australia built upon clean and renewable energy, including hydrogen powered transport. We recognise that collaboration between industry and government will be essential to support this mission and take advantage of this exciting opportunity, and we�re grateful for the opportunity today to appear at this inquiry.
While I understand the inquiry to date has primarily focused on battery electric vehicles, these represent only one technology option in the electrified vehicle field. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, similarly powered by electricity, present another genuine alternative for delivering reduced transport emissions both here in Victoria and nationally.
However, it�s the position of Hydrogen Mobility Australia and our members that both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles can co-exist and in fact complement each other with their differing characteristics.

Finally, I should note that hydrogen doesn�t just represent a transport fuel. As mentioned earlier, the mission of Hydrogen Mobility Australia is to realise a hydrogen society for Australia. This essentially means an economy where hydrogen is used as a major source of power.
