Hydrogen Energy

The Challenge

Hydrogen for Future Grids

Hydrogen has the potential to support future power systems, but its integration into electricity networks is still an emerging area of research.

Renewable Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen can be produced from surplus renewable electricity using electrolysers. However, the variability of renewable generation can affect the efficiency and reliability of hydrogen production.

Hydrogen Storage & Transport

Hydrogen provides a potential carbon-free method for storing surplus renewable energy, but its low energy density and flammability create challenges for storage and transportation.

Australia's Hydrogen Opportunity

Australia has significant potential to become a major participant in the global hydrogen market and an important exporter of clean hydrogen.
