On Monday, the COAG Energy Council Hydrogen Working Group released 9 issues papers for consultation into specific topics to help develop the National Hydrogen Strategy. The issues paper cover the following topics:
NRF have been advising stakeholders globally and in the Australian market on the evolving opportunities and challenges as early mover advantages in the hydrogen economy become increasingly important. With rapid commercialisation of hydrogen production technologies and ongoing identification and diversification of hydrogen production technologies, investment appetite into hydrogen production and hydrogen use technologies is rapidly growing as a way to diversify and protect investment positions longer term in a rapidly transforming energy and transportation market. Understanding delivery risk particularly permitting and regulatory approvals pathways is an important up-front step that will drive project design and financial investment not only in this market but globally. We are front and centre of this work with active participants in the hydrogen space.
Our Hydrogen team will be examining and providing thought to the 9 consultation papers released by the COAG Energy Council Hydrogen Working Group. Keep your eye out for this update and in the meantime, if you have any queries, please contact Kelly Davies, partner and Head of our Power business group.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
