Australia is at the forefront of developing the global hydrogen sector. Recently the Prime Minister announced an additional AUD 275.5 million in the budget to accelerate development of four additional clean hydrogen hubs and implement a certification scheme. Also, ARENA supported three new 10MW electrolysis projects to produce renewable hydrogen, among the largest electrolysers in the world.
The panel will include leading Australian businesses and researchers working on cutting edge hydrogen technology:
• ANU’s Dr Fiona Beck is pioneering work to develop direct solar-to-hydrogen production systems that do not require electrolysis
• LAVO’s Matthew Muller will present their hydrogen storage technology, integrating with household and commercial rooftop solar to create, store and convert hydrogen into electricity
• Craig De Laine will discuss AGIG’s supply of hydrogen from renewable energy to the steel and transport industries, as well as blending with natural gas in the SA network
• Samuel Blackadder will discuss H2X’s innovative hydrogen production technology for the electricity and transport sector, including Australia’s first hydrogen ferry
• Matthew Hingerty will outline how Star Scientific’s HERO* (Hydrogen Energy Release Optimiser) technology is capable of providing reliable, continuous dispatchable energy and industrial heat using green hydrogen
