NERA has today launched HyCapability — Australia’s first hydrogen capability finder, connecting Australian hydrogen businesses with a domestic and global market through a free, online, searchable platform.

HyCapability is the latest development in the hydrogen sector from NERA and the Hydrogen Technology Cluster Australia (H2TCA), and has been created with the assistance of EconomX, the economic development and Supply Chain Management (SCM) platform which maps and promotes regional hydrogen ecosystems and supply chain capability.

NERA CEO Miranda Taylor said, “HyCapability allows Australian companies with innovative technology, services and equipment for the hydrogen industry to cut through the noise and profile themselves.”

“All of NERA’s work in hydrogen is driven by one goal: to develop the industry so the country exports more than just hydrogen molecules. Australia is uniquely positioned to become a world leader in niche technologies and services that support the fast-emerging hydrogen industry. We just need to continue to seize every opportunity to showcase our capabilities, capability and experience to the global market.”

“I encourage any Australian business working within or having capabilities relevant to supporting the development of our country’s hydrogen value chain to complete their company profile for free to start benefitting from this new shopwindow,” said Ms Taylor.

HyCapability offers an unparalleled shop window to companies working in the hydrogen sector. Susan Mercer, the CEO of H2Q, the organisation behind Queensland’s hydrogen industry cluster, says they are excited to promote and support HyCapability.

“As a key cluster within the H2TCA, we’re focussed on sustainably growing the hydrogen industry ecosystem in Queensland. We share a vision with NERA of building the skills, capacities and commercialisation opportunities necessary to unlock Australia’s enormous potential to create a globally competitive hydrogen industry. It’s exciting to see the capability mapping project which H2Q commenced in Queensland has now become a national platform with NERA.”
