Project summary description:
This project aims to develop a new method for sustainable hydrogen storage. Hydrogen is vital for decarbonising Australia’s economy, yet finding an efficient way for hydrogen storage is a global challenge. This project seeks to encapsulate hydrogen effectively in water to produce hydrogen-carrying combustible ice for large-scale hydrogen storage, taking the advantages of water as a low-cost raw material. Expected outcomes are cutting-edge knowledge and a new pathway of hydrogen storage.
