SYDNEY -- A $36 billion project to mass-produce hydrogen from renewable power sources is underway in Australia, fueling Canberra's hopes of turning clean energy exports into a major revenue generator as countries begin to shun coal.
The Asian Renewable Energy Hub plans to build wind turbines and photovoltaic systems generating 26,000 megawatts on 6,500 sq. km leased in the state of Western Australia. The space for the project is six times the size of Hong Kong.
