As I was saying, I'm pleased, for Senator McDonald and Queensland senators, to highlight that just last week we announced $1.1 million to build a modular demonstration plant at Wallumbilla. The plant will produce around 620 kilograms of hydrogen per year, which will be converted into 74 gigajoules of renewable methane. We've also invested $1.25 million in a feasibility study for a renewable hydrogen demonstration project at Stanwell Power Station in Rockhampton. This type of innovative work is exactly what we need to see our domestic hydrogen industry grow.
