Critical minerals for Green Energy
Critical minerals are a once-in-a-century opportunity for Australia. 'Australia can be a 21st-century green energy superpower. Climate change provides the imperative; our vast renewable energy and mineral resources provide the opportunity.' (Grattan Institute, Melbourne) >
Hydrogen Straight from Seawater
How to make hydrogen straight from seawater – no desalination required. 'Researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater, in a critical step towards a truly viable green hydrogen industry.' (RMIT University , Melbourne) >
Are Australians on board with hydrogen energy?
'With the hydrogen industry still in the early stages of development, community acceptance will be crucial to whether it succeeds. A new CSIRO report examines public attitudes around not just how hydrogen is used, but also its production, storage and transport.' (ECOS Magazine, CSIRO, Canberra) >
Decarbonising Shipping - Global Challenge
'The 2020s will be a vital time for piloting and prototyping new fuels and hybrid propulsion arrangements. Vessels will need to transition from fossil-based fuels to zero carbon energy sources and technologies, while simultaneously increasing efficiency.' (The Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub, London) >
Hydrogen / Bromine Batteries
Batteries with lower cost and readily available chemistry. 'The choice for hydrogen and bromine.' (Elestor Electricity Storage, Arnhem, The Netherlands) >
Power-to-Gas Technologies in an Electric Steel Mill
Provision of Demand-Side Flexibility through the Integration of Power-to-Gas Technologies in an Electric Steel Mill. 'EAF steelmaking based on renewable electricity allows for low-CO2 steel production. However, the increased integration of volatile renewable energies into the energy system requires the provision of flexibility options.' (Energy Network Technology, Department of Environmental and Energy Process Engineering, Montanuniversität Leoben, A-8700 Leoben, Austria) >
Australia’s $333 billion opportunity
Export Powerhouse: Australia’s $333 billion opportunity. 'By 2050, green exports could grow to almost triple the value of existing fossil fuel exports.' (Beyond Zero Emissions, Melbourne) >
How Does the Land Use of Different Electricity Sources Compare?
All energy production takes up land – whether it’s for a power plant, or to dig minerals out of the ground. Which sources use the most land, and which use it most efficiently? (Our World in Data) >
Green Hydrogen Takes Flight
'Australian innovators AMSL Aero are taking renewable energy to the skies with their futuristic reimagining of the aircraft.' (ARENAWIRE, Australian Renewable Energy Agency) >
