The world faces immense pressure regarding the negative impacts of increased greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, global warming, droughts, and many other environmental problems. Australia is also facing the same issues and requires urgent attention. In this research, we have examined the effect of hydrogen firms on Australia's greenhouse gas emissions. We employed the monthly data from January 2002 to December 2021 for econometric estimations. Through quantile regression, it is noted that the expansion of hydrogen firms contributes to environmental pollution instead of controlling the emissions. Most hydrogen energy still emits carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change. Around the world, carbon-containing fossil fuels produce more than 95% of hydrogen energy. However, as a policy suggestion, it is recommended that green hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources will succeed in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
世界面临着温室气体排放增加、气候变化、全球变暖、干旱等许多其他环境问题的负面影响的巨大压力。澳大利亚也面临着同样的问题，需要紧急关注。在这项研究中，我们考察了氢能企业对澳大利亚温室气体排放的影响。我们采用了 2002 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月的月度数据进行计量经济学估计。通过分位数回归，我们发现氢能企业的扩张导致了环境污染，而不是控制排放。大多数氢能仍然排放二氧化碳，这导致了气候变化。在全球范围内，含碳的化石燃料生产了超过 95%的氢能。然而，作为一项政策建议，建议使用可再生能源电解水生产的绿色氢能将成功实现可持续发展目标（SDGs）。
