THREE months after green hydrogen produced in the Redlands was exported to Japan, key industry players have visited Tokyo to showcase Queensland's hydrogen technology to international markets.
The World Hydrogen Technologies Convention, which kicked off on Sunday, brings together more than 600 delegates from 45 countries.
Scientists, researchers, industry and government from around the globe will exchange insights and ideas on hydrogen energy technology.
The convention comes after the state government released its $19 million sustainable hydrogen strategy in May.
State Development Minister Cameron Dick said Queensland aimed to be the hydrogen exporter of choice to the Asia Pacific region.
"Hydrogen means jobs," Mr Dick said.
"Our government's attendance at the world's largest hydrogen technologies convention sends a signal to the international community that we welcome hydrogen investment.
"Our world-leading renewable energy resources, existing gas pipeline infrastructure, first-class export facilities and highly-skilled workforce put us in a strong position to grow our industry in domestic and international markets."
Mr Dick will speak at the convention on Monday afternoon to outline the Queensland Hydrogen Industry Strategy.
As part of the strategy, the government would engage with industry and researchers, including those at the state government's Redlands Research Facility, to meet funding and support needs for hydrogen innovation.
In March, hydrogen produced at the facility was exported to Japan.
The green hydrogen was produced by adding water and acid to a chemical called toluene using solar power as the energy source in the electrochemical conversion process.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk also announced $250,000 in funding for the establishment of a renewable hydrogen pilot plant at the Redlands Research Facility.
Mr Dick said Queensland's vision was to be at the forefront of renewable hydrogen production by 2030.
"Our five-year plan will help drive the development of an economically sustainable and competitive hydrogen industry in Queensland," he said.
"Our state is fortunate to have shared a long and positive trade relationship with Japan and we will continue to demonstrate our commitment to a hydrogen industry through targeted trade missions like this.
"This trip will be a chance to discuss future hydrogen opportunities for Queensland, and the funds committed in our strategy will ensure our state has the best possible platform to become a global hydrogen exporter of choice."
The convention will continue until June 7.
