Who we are
CSIRO’s Future Science Platforms
Future Science Platforms (FSPs) are an investment in science that underpins innovation and that has the potential to help reinvent and create new industries for Australia. FSPs will grow the capability of a new generation of researchers and allow Australia to attract the best students and experts to work with us.
Hydrogen Energy Systems
Our Purpose
The Hydrogen Energy Systems Future Science Platform has been created to ensure that CSIRO has the breadth and depth of scientific and technical capability to meet the needs of the new and evolving hydrogen energy industry–one with an increasing focus on renewable energy export. The FSP plays an important role in the wider CSIRO Hydrogen RD&D program; its activities intersect with CSIRO’s engagement, strategy, applied research, and demonstration activities.
The FSP will support ongoing science delivery and technology development across the hydrogen value chain, and explore novel pathways for production, transport, and utilisation. It will work across CSIRO Business Units and with university and other collaborators, and establish strong links with international initiatives.
Our purpose: create new science, capabilities, and technologies across the emerging hydrogen value chain, supporting new Australian industries and large-scale emissions reduction.
