TIQ - Learn about new energy and hydrogen opportunities in Queensland.

Renewable energy

Queensland’s abundant sunshine and wind is powering a flourishing renewables industry.

Currently, there are over 50 large-scale renewable energy projects (operating, under construction or financially committed) in Queensland.

Queensland is supporting the sustainable fuels ecosystem, including hydrogen, across energy generation, production, export, domestic demand, and downstream opportunities such as manufacturing and assembly through existing planning, facilitation, coordination, and trade and investment functions.

Solar and wind

Queensland leads Australia in large-scale photovoltaic solar array deployment and has a large pipeline of solar projects in development. With abundant options available and the benefit of almost year-round sunshine, Queensland is turning these natural advantages into investment opportunities – both in the design and development of new infrastructure and recycling at end-of-life. Additionally, with some of the strongest and most consistent wind resources in Australia, Queensland is rapidly developing a comprehensive wind energy profile that encourages new investment in wind generation.

Sustainable fuels

Queensland is supporting the sustainable fuels sector, including ethanol-based fuels, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, bio-based fuels and gases, and hydrogen and its derivatives to build a complete ecosystem that supports decarbonisation – including energy generation, production, export, domestic demand, and downstream opportunities such as manufacturing and assembly.

Batteries

To grow Queensland’s role in the battery supply chain, the Queensland Government released the $570 million Queensland Battery Industry Strategy. This will support Queensland’s local industry for critical minerals, chemicals, and advanced manufacturing.
