As a state, we produce a large majority of our energy already using a renewable source of energy - hydro.

And on Monday, it was revealed that the state will continue to punch above its weight by making a serious play at becoming a global powerhouse for "green" hydrogen energy.

In a world where more and more consumers are thinking and caring about the way their energy is produced, hydrogen offers not only another alternative to traditional fossil-fuelled power but also a way for the state to cement itself as a progressive state.

Having a hydrogen hub based at Bell Bay provides another industrial feather to the precinct's cap, and it also provides certainty for the people who may be rattled by the uncertainty surrounding TEMCO's long term future at the site.

The government released its final renewable hydrogen action plan on Monday, announcing a $20 million renewable hydrogen fund, up to $20 million worth of concessional loans and up to $10 million worth of support services such as competitive electricity supply arrangements and payroll tax relief.

The Bell Bay Advanced Manufacturing Zone is expected to be a key area for the fledgling industry, having been identified in the action plan as a first-stage site for a 100-megawatt production facility, expected to be up-and-running in 2022 at the earliest.

The government's vision is for the plant to expand to a 1000 megawatt facility from 2030, and potentially beyond 1000 megawatts if national and international demand for hydrogen grows as has been forecast.

What is still unknown, is where the hydrogen hub will be located at Bell Bay and how it might fit into the complex jigsaw of manufacturing and industrial work that is already completed there.

As the world considers how to transition away from fossil fuels, hydrogen will offer a viable alternative, especially alongside other projects such as Project Marinus, which will connect Tasmania's clean and green power to the national grid.
