Hazer's great month on the ASX
The Hazer share price has taken off over the last month, seemingly alongside the market's interest in hydrogen.
This time last month, many shares in the ASX hydrogen sector were boosted when 2 Australian states released plans to kickstart a green hydrogen industry. Green hydrogen is that which is created using only renewable energy.
First, the Queensland government teamed up with Fortescue Metals Group Limited's (ASX: FMG) subsidiary Fortescue Future Industries to build a hydrogen equipment manufacturing centre.
Then, days later, New South Wales announced a $3 billion green hydrogen strategy.
The Hazer share price gained 9% on the day the Queensland-based plan was announced and was boosted another 24% when New South Wales released its strategy.
On 18 October, the market's excitement for Hazer's stock was renewed when the company released its quarterly activities report.
Finally, the Hazer share price gained 0.9% on Monday amid the announcement of the Australian Government's Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy.
The strategy includes providing additional funding for hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. Thus, it could help to increase the uptake of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
