Research

Native hydrogen – gas surface seepage
We have successfully applied soil-gas monitoring techniques to test for the presence of natural hydrogen seeps in Australia.

Raman spectroscopy experimental mixed gas H2-CH4-brine EOS calibration for hydrogen storage
A new calibration dataset for the system H2-CH4-H2O and its implementation in a new Equation Of State will enable us to model H2 behaviour in depleted oil and gas reservoirs.

Ammonia Cracking using Catalytic Static Mixers
Using catalytic static mixers to crack ammonia, producing hydrogen.

Metal hydride composites
We are investigating better performance of metal hydrides for hydrogen storage.

Hydrogen utilisation in heat and power systems
This project is focused on understanding the complexities of turbulent hydrogen combustion.

Australian fairy circles
Do fairy circles indicate the presence of hydrogen?

Geogenic hydrogen exploration
Geologic hydrogen research combining field exploration with lab research.

Ammonia fuel cells
We are studying solid oxide fuel cells to produce electrical power from ammonia.

Anticipating public attitudes towards hydrogen energy technologies
This project is investigating public attitudes towards different hydrogen energy technologies using qualitative and quantitative research methods.
