Hydrogen opportunities across Australia - EFTF Showcase 2024

Geoscience Australia held the final Exploring for the Future online public Showcase during 13-16 August 2024, marking the conclusion of this remarkable 8-year program and celebrating its enduring legacy.
Since 2016, the $225m Exploring for the Future program has been gathering, analysing and providing precompetitive geoscience data, information and tools to help inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources, supporting our transition to net zero by 2050.
The 2024 Showcase was a free online event, where geoscience experts shared the latest results from the program and highlighted its impacts, benefits and achievements.
Day 3 included a ‘National resource potential assessments’ theme, covering our latest research into hydrogen, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and green steel with an overview of the new Green Steel Economic Fairways tool and our work on national inventories of basins for energy and groundwater, mineral and mine waste potential.
