Description

Transforming clean hydrogen production by photothermal catalysis . Hydrogen as an energy source is considered a key tool for cutting carbon emissions and combating climate change, but current production methods are costly and/or energy-intensive. This project aims to facilitate large-scale “green” hydrogen production based on solar power. It expects to generate new knowledge in this innovative field, with anticipated outcomes to include development of the technological means to produce green hydrogen at a cost and on a scale that allow it to become an integral part of the sustainable energy mix. The project should deliver significant benefits, including an important new strategy for helping to achieve decarbonisation, both in Australia and overseas, and a major boost to Australia's future hydrogen economy..
