• Highlighting the role of gas and trajectory for decarbonizing gas into the future
• Explore undergoing hydrogen projects in delivering the vision
• What are the direct applicants for green hydrogen
• Driving hydrogen costs down and delivering lowest cost decarbonization

• Hydrogen’s role in Rio Tinto’s decarbonization pathway
• Discuss about Rio Tinto’s Yarwun Hydrogen calcination technology
• Discuss learnings from the feasibility study associated with process safety, storage, partnerships and technology development.

• What changes that Australia need to do to in the hydrogen infrastructure space to achieve Paris carbon emissions reduction targets
• concern the price of green hydrogen and market mechanisms to support investment and manage price risk, while the supply and demand sides scale-up.

• Latest overview on the status of Underground Hydrogen Storage in Australia Project by CSIRO
• What are the key challenges in large scale hydrogen underground storage – cost and safety?
