The end of ‘Twiggy’ Forrest's hydrogen dream

7am

About this episode

It wasn’t so long ago that renewables pundits glowingly described hydrogen as the “Swiss Army knife” of renewable technologies, able to be turned to almost any purpose.

But more recently, the gas has become an expensive and painful point of political debate, with many experts tempering their praise.

Now, one of hydrogen’s biggest backers, mining magnate Andrew Forrest, has announced he is scaling back his green hydrogen projects.

Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on how the green hydrogen dream evaporated.
