With abundant sunlight and wind to turn renewable electricity into hydrogen, and a well-established energy export sector, Australia is well-placed to become a global hydrogen powerhouse.
But first we need to produce enough hydrogen at a competitive price and improve the technology needed to ship it around the world.
Dr Patrick Hartley, Leader of the CSIRO Hydrogen Industry Mission, outlines the opportunities – and challenges – this new fuel source presents in the latest issue of ECOS. Since 1974ECOS has reported on sustainability issues from a scientific perspective for Australia’s national scientific research agency CSIRO.
