Australian research and innovation case studies

This is the first set of a planned series of case studies whose purpose is to increase the visibility of Australian hydrogen-related R&D efforts to local and global audiences. Working with the federal Department Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) and the organisations involved, several case studies highlighting various elements of the hydrogen supply chain are presented in non-technical language.

It is planned that further sets of case studies will be published on an ongoing basis. The manner and form of such publications will evolve and will include consultations with the HyResearch Steering Committee, the Australian Hydrogen Research Network (AHRN) and DCCEEW.

Direct production of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier

Jupiter Ionics is producing ammonia by direct electrolysis of water and nitrogen from air.

Biocatalyst produces green hydrogen from biomass

HydGene has developed a biocatalyst that produces renewable hydrogen from waste biomass, presenting a sustainable method of producing clean energy on demand.

Tubular Solid Oxide Electrolysis

Hadean Energy are commercialising solid oxide electrolysis technology which can use waste heat to reduce the electrical input requirement.

PEM power banks for remote applications

Endua produce power banks for offgrid use. The development of PEM electrolyser technology using unique materials and fabrication processes has helped to achieve the required electrolyser stack performance and cost reduction.
