Energy Minister Guy Barnett said it was time Labor's David O'Byrne stopped "deliberately misleading the community and undermining Tasmania's hydrogen future".
"Tasmania has a bright hydrogen future and the Hodgman majority Liberal Government is already investing heavily to develop our hydrogen potential as part of our Battery of the Nation plan," Mr Barnett said.
"While other states will use coal fired energy to produce hydrogen on a commercial scale, Tasmania will use renewable hydro and wind energy to split water, producing emissions-free hydrogen, giving us a competitive advantage."
Mr Barnett said the government was committed to building a "strong foundation" for Tasmania's hydrogen industry.
"I recently met with the Australia's Chief Scientist to discuss Tasmania's potential to lead the nation in this sector," he said.
"David O'Byrne might be excited by the fact he has only just discovered hydrogen, but it is about time he actually delivered a policy of his own rather than breathless hyperbole."
Mr O'Byrne accused the Liberal Party of being "deeply and hopelessly divided over energy policy".
"Motions for this weekend's Liberal State Council reveal the membership is more interested in pursuing nuclear energy than maximising Tasmania's renewable energy advantage," he said.
"There are multiple motions in support of nuclear energy, while the Sandy Bay Branch has called for the brakes to be put on the second Bass Strait interconnector amid concern that the government has not yet explained who will pay for it.
"Meanwhile there is absolutely no mention of green hydrogen, which has the potential to create 500 new jobs."
Mr O'Byrne said the Liberal rank and file had sided with "the coal-loving Federal Government and nuclear energy in an effective vote of no confidence" against the government's energy policies.
