Solid State compression project

H2 has a very low volumetric density. For many applications that use H2, the H2 needs to be compressed. Currently, […]

Underground Hydrogen Storage in Australia Project

One of the major challenges in the energy transition is the need for energy storage on a large scale, and hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role.

Technoeconomics

Project 1 – Techno-economic evaluation of hydrogen energy systems Why we are doing this? Australia has an advantage of having […]

Ortho- para hydrogen conversion Project

This project started in October 2020. In the first three months, we were targeting to setup a research collaborative agreement […]

Nitrogenase: Enabling Solar-Powered Ammonia

Nature uses nitrogenase as a key component of its process to fix nitrogen from the air using energy from the […]

Natural hydrogen exploration

Are the Australian “fairy circles” hydrogen emitting features? Hydrogen can be naturally produced by various processes in the subsurface, mostly […]

Hydrogen Accreditation Project

Why we are doing this? Hydrogen is expected to become one of the critical next-generation energy resources that can positively […]

CO2 to Methanol Project

In recent years, enormous efforts have been devoted to promoting renewable energy and reduction of CO2 in order to decarbonise the society. However, the efficient utilisation of solar energy and reduction of CO2 is still challenging because of energy conversion efficiency and sluggish CO2 conversion kinetics. Among the various CO2 conversion technologies, photocatalytic CO2 conversion to hydrocarbon fuels has received increasing attention.

Direct ammonia synthesis by alkaline membrane based electrolysis

Around 180 million tons of ammonia is synthesised each year for utilization in various industries mostly in fertilizer industry and […]

Ammonia Fuel Cells Project

Why we are doing this? The storage and transport of Renewable Energy (RE) is by far the biggest hurdle preventing […]

Ammonia Cracking using Catalytic Static Mixers (CSM)

The project leverages the multi-disciplinary expertise available at CSIRO in flow chemistry, static mixer technology, catalyst development and deposition/coating knowhow […]

Hydrogen and NH3 from organics

The value of waste Value recovery from biosolids can play a vital role in closing the loop for nutrients, water […]

Impact of Hydrogen on underground reservoir properties: Laboratory characterisation @ reservoir conditions

Why are we doing this? Cost-effective, large-scale hydrogen storage will be a game-changer to the emerging hydrogen industry, supporting a […]

Metal hybrides composites

Why we do this Some metal alloys, often referred to as metal hydrides, will reversibly absorb and desorb H2. As […]
