Sure but, the critical question in this post is how to get solar energy from the desert to the market. You can’t just string up power lines because too much is lost in transmission.
In the immediate future, Japan is a target market for Australia’s Hydrogen, and that’s many thousands of kilometers from Australia’s production facilities.
Over this distance hydrogen is the least inefficient method of transport.
Hydrogen takes energy to make, to move, to store, new infrastructure and from generation to use it is extremely inefficient.
Makes much more sense to just directly use that energy as electricity.
