Kim is the Director – Future Industries and Communication, in Renewables, Climate and Future Industries Tasmania, which is part of the Department of State Growth. Kim has worked in this newly created role for 8 months, and is enjoying working across all industries to help them capitalize on the opportunities that the emerging renewable energy and clean fuel transition brings. This role represents an expansion of her previous roles over the past four years in energy policy, where she led both the development and implementation of the Tasmanian Renewable Energy Action Plan, the Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Action Plan, and Tasmania’s response to national and state energy policy.

More recently, she has been primarily focused on green hydrogen and green methanol industry development in Tasmania. This includes initiating the $300M Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub project at Bell Bay, as well as driving local market activation, international engagement, and providing other policy and regulatory advice to the Government.
